Propaganda

[David Morris]

A boring correction:
Not true, Jerky.  You present me with a case of attempted murder.  Attempted 
brainwashing/propagadizing would be the parallel.  I (and Otto) never said 
the government/establishment hasn't attempted to brainwash/propagadize, only 
that Chomsky has overrated their success.
