Civilization Watch First appeared in print in The Rhinoceros Times, Greensboro, NC By Orson Scott Card November 8, 2012

Good rant from Card. Sorry if it's a duplicate. I couldn't get the search function to work.

Good luck, my American and FReeper friends. It isn't looking good from up here in Canada, but if anyone can pull it off, it's you.

Cheers, Jim

The way information is dispensed to the citizens must be modified.

Thank you for Card, one sensible Sci-Fi author turned editorialist in today’s world. Has anyone else heard about his novel, Ender’s Game, becoming a film next year?

True... democracy did not fail because democracy is Mob Rule by mobsters..
No democracy has ever been democratic.. it is a LIE...
Democracy is the political disease with socialism as a symptom..
Democracy was, is, and has always been a scam.. Mob Rule.. bunko.. bait and switch..


To be a democrat proves you are a moron.. with no logic..
or a useful idiot... democracy is a filthy thing....

He’s just mad his fellow moorman cultist didn’t win giving us a country where polyamy would be legalized and caffeine and whiskey outlawed. (obligatory anti-Romney sarcasm)

If Barack Obama had a propaganda minister with the power to shut you down if you ran stories that embarrassed him or his administration, would your station, your network, your newspaper, your magazine still be in business?

WOW! OSC really hit the nail on the head... I've been referring to the so called "mainstream media" as "The Ministry of Propaganda" for some time now.

Most so-called "journalists" today, don't have the slightest shred of journalistic integrity and quite frankly are knowingly dishonest.

Would only have changed the theme to America is a Republic, We lost it to a Democracy ... Orson Scott Card is The Voice ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-umqM9R8cnI&feature=related
