That’s some rather interesting, and frightening stuff..And, it’s definitely not the same kind of (false) fright caused by the doom and gloom talk of those who wanted this bill to go through on Monday.

Well, then! If it's the GOOD kind of hype and fear mongering and not the BAD kind of hype and fear mongering, then golly it's very important to heed the warning and act in ways that the author prefers!

There is a bit of a difference between someone posting theories on what a bill COULD mean, vs. a U.S. Congressman with the ear of the nation, and our media standing up on the House Floor and attempting to use that fear-mongering to force their fellow representatives into voting for a bill they know is bad, is there not?

I’m not saying fear-mongering is good... I’m simply saying that warnings to people to look closely at something is different than creating a self-fulfilling prophecy the likes of which Congress and a lot of people here on FR were doing in relation to the bill on Monday.

There is a BIG difference in trying to CREATE PANIC, and putting forth a THEORY.
