FAKE ORGASMS


Three Cents Worth-- Fake Scandals
The trend of "negative advertising" nowadays is not just to create doubt about a candidate, but to manufacture scandals where none exist. This is dangerous to democracy, but it is a very unhappy consequence of the current political scene.

Democracy will surely fail when the already-short attention span of voters is diverted to sleazy and titillating manufactured garbage about Playboy parties or pornographers' campaign money or the pictures of sexual "predators." This warning is not just fancy talk. Brainwashing and manipulation are some consequences of these tactics. And that's not democracy.

And another result is the election of liars.

Now the news channels are warning us that it will get worse in the next week. Let's hope voters --- like you and me --- rebel against it.
