Interesting stuff--and of course worth sharing with non-political folks who have no idea how much we are lied to by the politicians and media.

I have had interesting reactions since I have shared this info with both non-political types _and_ liberals.

Even most liberals can _get_ this one--it is that straightforward.

Then you close the deal: "If they are lying to us about _this_ what else are they lying to us about...?"
