We Swim in a Sea of Spin

Spin.

Nice Little word that got coined to homogenize, pasteurize, and make palatable, what generally amounts to, LIES.

My Soul Knows The Truth.

I seem to remember it comeing of age and becoming accepted vernacular under Clinton, with his "political" thug , Carville. ( sp? ) Today, I am hard pressed to find any news that hasn't been spun, or more clearly, Op-Ed'd. Everything is rife with oppinion. From the headlines on my local newspapaer, to the leading story on any network. The news isn't reported, it's used as a tool to drive some policy change, to manipulate the collective bovine mindset, to set a feeling. We swim every waking moment in a Sea Of Spin, bombarded with psy-op precision, puppeteers pulling the many marionette strings, that drive the polls. I HATE IT! Somedays, my soul aches, exhausted from the constant onslaught.

I do my best to tune it all out, to seek the tid bits of who, what, when , where I can find, and form opinion from that. It's difficult though.

Lobbyists.

Maybe spin comes from the day we accepted what is blatantly a corrupt process; Lobbyists.

Well, that's another topic best left for a sitting where I have more time.
