Would we be better off, if...?

Well, when the news is coming from a variety of sources and they all pretty much agree on the facts I feel fairly safe with that.

I've never really trusted the media being completely seperate from the government, as you'd not find a better tool to manipulate public opinion. Perhaps I'm a little more paranoid than others, but I certainly don't take our government at face value.

Edit:

Yea. Oh yea, and about information being right ...ask SYG and others who have been there. I did on the Dragoon forums and he said "they hate to love us and love to hate us" or something like that. It seems to be a minority that appreciate what we're doing. Let them settle this shit themselves ...we can't win their heart. That's already been proven.

Yeah, I hear that. I'm not saying that I don't believe what's going on over there, but I don't think we're being told everything that we need to know.
