Funny, stupid, or tragic?

Propaganda.

The Peak Oil ideas are very interesting and I'd like to read more about that. But that website seems like a lot of political propaganda against the right.

Look at the way it's written.

The way things are presented is very propaganda-like, with very little point-counterpoint discussions about differing viewpoints. Instead, it's written with incendiary accusations and acting as if everything it says is pure fact. It seems very inflammatory, if that's the right word, like it's trying to use apocalyptic scare tactics or guilt to move people into action for something that isn't necessarily true. In other words, propaganda.

But hey, I didn't read it all. I was interested until I started reading the anti-war, anti-Bush drivel. I don't like Bush much, but once politics enters an article like that I take it with a grain of salt.

So if you think I'm wrong, fine. I'm not going to argue about it.

P.S. Some choice quotes.

What are some steps that I can take in the next few days to begin addressing this situation?

-5. Adopt a vegetarian/ vegan diet, or at least reduce your meat consumption as much as you can.

-12. Investigate alternative forms of health care such as bioenergetic healing, self hypnosis etc. . .
