While posting on a global warming thread it hit me like a ton of bricks: If we still got all of our news today as we did in the 1980’s, everybody would “KNOW” that man-made global warming is a serious problem and we must take draconian measures to save life on the planet as we know it!

But the internet allows both sides to be heard and the more intilligent can much more accurately determine what is truth.

Kinda makes you wonder what other things “everybody knew” that were hoaxes back before the internet.
