There's a lot here (and other places I like to haunt) about who's a sellout, who is sort of telling the truth, who is sent out with a revelation to hide a bigger revelation, etc. (Notice I avoid some popular terms that confused me for long enough to think a lot of you were cultish, like "limited hang-outs" or whatever.)<br><br>So what happens when this stuff "goes mainstream," as they say? You known, like the 9/11 conference on CSPAN. I sure didn't watch it, but I also didn't watch Stephen Colbert's brutal routine at the White House reporters' dinner ... a few days later on the computer, however, and I was watching it about four times a day at work (with various comrades laughing like nuts over my shoulder). If YouTube does its job, there should be lots of clips from that LA 9/11 conference showing up soon, with the all-important CSPAN brand of quality.<br><br>(Sorry I haven't looked; I'm on dialup tonight.)<br><br>Anybody remember going to see "JFK" and leaving all jazzed up, like ... oh boy, here it comes. I was lucky/unlucky enough to grow up in a family of gov't skeptics who just assumed JFK was murdered by our own gov't. But that wasn't exactly mainstream in the late '60s. Or even the '80s ... remember that bit Jeff posted from Bill Hicks, about the new president being shown the secret footage of the JFK hit? I rented a Hicks DVD after that, and the audience sorta gasps. That's how it felt watching "JFK" in a crowded multiplex.<br><br>So when do we say Hooray over the slow acceptance of 9/11 truth?<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
