...does it really make any sense—any sense at all – to frighten the public into believing that there is a current, powerful mass movement on behalf of such plans?
If there was in fact no substance, it seems to me that transparency in the negotiations, and opening up these SPP talks to the Public would be a rather easy solution or at least a good start...
And if there is substance, then perhaps they should be frightened, at the very least, by the corruption in our "representatives" implied by that.
