[MD] Propaganda

[Andre Broersen]

  dmb:
Death taxes, death panels, dead babies. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon 
to see that these terms are designed to push your emotional buttons. 
They're designed to manipulate opinion.

Andre:
Well said dmb and it puts into words exactly my gut response when I read 
(for example) Platt's post which really wasn't, and as far as I can make 
out still isn't, a genuine question. The subject line is of no concern 
to Platt. It is propaganda he is after...and shit stirring. Glad to see 
Horse responding appropriately!

What some people on this discuss fail to remember sometimes (don't get 
me wrong, I have been guilty of it as well) is that this is a philosophy 
discussion site and the subject line is the works of Mr. Pirsig and 
related matters. I think it may be a good idea to stick to that.
