I agree...(well, actually, the fable has left me a little confused, 
but i ain't so bright...) My only point is this:  how come you and i 
are so smart we know when "The Media" is pulling this grand hoax, and 
how come so many others out there who don't, who swallow it whole?  
that's the attitude that i think leads us nowhere politically...
