After watching some computer-animated CNN tanks heading towards a bridge in Sim City perspective, I\u2019m imposing a media blackout on myself, except for the BBC and Democracy Now \u2013 it\u2019s so easy to get caught up in the coverage. Today, while doing homework, I used C-SPAN as white noise as the House debated the Homeland Security budget. Dennis Kucinich and Nancy Pelosi made some passionate arguments (Dennis went so far as to attempt to add an amendment that would call the troops back home and only pay for the cost of the war so far, about $40 billion!). It\u2019s scary to think how seriously people take Fox News \u2013 they\u2019re taking what I believe to be a minority viewpoint in this country and lighting a flame underneath it.<\/p>\n
