Pondering here, and not to be taken seriously...How many links to
websites have you received in the past few days, for example
http://infowars.com/print/patriot_act/alexs_analysis.htm that you might
not have received, had we not been experiencing the current human
activities that are directing our attention towards? How many
multimodal texts, such as [warning - 8 MB movie download]
http://videos.informationclearinghouse.info/fascism.wmv have you had
that you would normally not be privileged to "read"? What can we say
about the time frames for dissemination of scholarly works in our
academic world versus the time frames for spin? Apart from this
privileged place, what other venues are there to discuss the spin as it
occurs?

Sorry, just thoughts out loud after a disturbing session at my computer.

Phil
