In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Americans absorb war propaganda

Not only are most Americans clueless about geography and history, so my students tell me, they also like to absorb the war propaganda put out by the necons and others. Great article by Justin Raimondo that appeared on antiwar.com today.

Don't Americans understand that the government is always conjuring up more boogeymen for us to be afraid of? Don't they understand they love to use fear to get us to do what they want us to do?

It's time for us to do our own research (no, not the mainstream media) and reject most of what they're telling us. Remember, they told us Medicare and Medicaid would only cost $9 billion the first 25 years. They were wrong. It cost $67 billion.
