“I don't like John McCain. I think he's a deluded old psychopath lost in some kind of neo-con, empire building dream, expanding government in all the wrong directions with no idea of how to manage anything. At best, the man is a war-hawk without restraint, and at worst, he's using his party to shield his liberalistic tendencies.� close quote.

A shortened version, of my sentiments; I would add: was he in bed with 1. the woman: 2. the lobbyist: 3. both: 4. neither?

A good question, is worth a good response. But first let's set the stage, so to speak.

Logical Premise, the gist of your article, as I understand it is: The MSM is controlling our nation, by controlling our field of view and even interpreting that which we are allowed to see. This brings me to what I believe to be a relevant tale.

Many of you who have extended me the honor of allowing me to share my thoughts, have perhaps deduced, that at the mid seventy point in my life, I am undoubtedly one of the most senior of columnist. To pick up the tale, please join me on a journey back into the thrilling days of my youth; let's see if I can remember that far back.

The tale begins on the plains of West Texas: It seems that periodically my mother, an "Arkie" would get the urge to see her family, so we would all pile into the late model Mercury; leave the beautiful cotton fields of West Texas, and the thirty thousand enlightened residents of the bustling city of Lubbock, and meander back into hills, forest, and rivers, of the dark kingdom of Arkansas.

My uncles all farmed small plots of land; raised more chickens, hogs, and cows, than required for their needs, thus the excess, eggs, milk, meat and field products, were their source of income.

My grandparents also raised a small herd of commercial dairy cows, their market was a small, local creamery. As the name implies, while they would daily pick up the cream, they had no use, thus no reason to purchase the whole milk; grandmother had to seperate it.

Though that which survived the seperation still looked like milk, it was good for nothing but to soak the grain fed to the hogs thus, improving its digestive rate.

Cream - skimmed milk: relates to government to me, how about you?

Unlike West Texas, as far as I could tell, the "Arkies" had never heard of a tractor. All the farm implements were either horse, or mule drawn (no, my aunts weren't hitched to the plow) maybe they were to busy cooking for the Texas relatives.

While personal transportation was by car, small farm cargo was transported by that most ancient and reliable of means: horse, or mule drawn wagons.

For a sub teen kid, to get to occupy the drivers seat; hold the reins, and "drive" the team, was the thrill of a life time; I of course had an uncle seated beside me. I'm not sure but what now, sixty five years down the pike, that it wouldn't be just as much a thrill today.

Hold It! How did I get from: I don't like McCain, to wagon transport in Arkansas? O, now I remember; it's time to see whether I can establish a Logical relationship between the adventures of my childhood, and todays government, or fall on my face.    The Tale Continues:

 All mammals possess individual intelligence, thus their re-action, when startled is totally unpredictable. In this respect, a one hundred pound human being, is no more sophisticated than the fifteen hundred pound horse, or the three thousand pound elephant:

Just the sight of a three ounce mouse, will transform a party of fifty people into chaos, if seen first by the "right" person.

If however, the mouse makes the mistake of first appearing to the "wrong" person, it gets stepped on, and the party goes on.

 There is nothing that will startle a horse or mule quicker than the sight of a snake; they may get used to the sound of gun shots, but they never lose their fear of snakes.

Thus, to be certain that the horses or mules performed as desired and expected, they couldn't be distracted by what was happening around them. Thus, whether one animal, or a team of a half dozen, all were fitted with "blinders," a piece of harness that limited their field of vision to that directly in front of them.

The blinders, though concealing the snakes beside the road, don't conceal snakes in the  grass, nor those that suddenly appear in the middle of the road. Whether saddled, or hitched to plow or wagon, a normally well behaved, docile horse, can instanteously become fifteen hundred pounds of mayhem, resulting in the death or injury to the horse, rider, or occupant of a wagon. 

As with horses, too much information, tends to make people unpredictable!

I'll leave it to you to make the connection between snakes in the grass; cream and skimmed milk;  horse and people blinders, and the MSM.
