But didn’t we just find out that Facebook itself has been implicated in letting personal information get out such as the individual’s contact information? How do you think you get all of those Constant Contact postings?

” Honestly, it really doesn’t matter to those of us who do our own thinking. “

The problem is that he who controls the percentage of the population that doesn’t have the time, inclination, or the brain cells to do so can, and too often does, control the swing vote, and can do unspeakable damage with it. Look around you for the proof.

I looked in to using Constant Contact for my company and

found that they had strict policies about sending spam.

You did the right thing. The author just needs to check his spelling.

I use it too but the concept that people receive e-mails that seem to be personally sent to them only is the concept I was referring to. The big problem is that now with so many people loading up junk like facebook with personal information thinking it is secure is the wolf at the back door.

I have a facebook account with no personal information other than what was absolutely necessary to log in because my mother asked me to. In her early eighties, she can grasp the facebook concept much easier than e-mail for some silly reason. Added to the fact she is in Vegas and I am in Florida, if it makes it easier for her then I can live with it for as long as she is with us. But I still don’t talk about private stuff on it.

It's a technique for forcing consensus by marginalizing dissenters.

Woodrow Wilson, the father of American Progressives, set up his own governmental propaganda agency and specifically attacked freemarket businesses with divisive politics by labeling them.

Obama has been compared to many past Presidents but in my opinion takes on many of the traits Of Woodrow Wilson the first democrat President elected after the traitorous rebellion by the Confederate democrats of the South to wage Civil War.

I didn't make them exactly the same, but close enough. I think some ethnic group goes about 92/8.

This may be the most horrifying story I’ve read...

I'm pretty sure they've been doing this kind of thing for a while - the big difference is software that allows one person to control so many fake 'people'...
