The media took scant notice. The most massive air bombardment in the history of the Western Hemisphere continued in El Salvador as US supplied planes and bombs attacked people in zones of rebel control. The media took absolutely no notice. Congress just authorized CIA funding to overthrow the governments of Angola and Nicaragua. Barely a word on the net. But the media and those who control the public consciousness go to town over the reformulation of a soft-drink. And, alas, we are taken in, and pretend to care about such nonsense. As in Roman times, give them circuses to distract them. I mourn for my country. ihnp4!ihlpg!berman
