Mom and the State of Fear

Posted by: Laer at 12:54 pm

Just below, I posted a question about whether government needs to keep us in a state of fear, and whether it uses the PLM forces — political, legal, media — to accomplish its ends. I also noted that it seemed to work on my inside-the-beltway-liberal Mom.

Well, she just e-mailed to say she’s leaving the inner ring to move way out, to Hawaii. Included in her e-mail was this statement, that may just justify the PLM theory:

Also, being in Washington is stressful – with this administration, and this president, we are in a constant state of distress and concern for the future of our country and its citizens as well as our relations with other countries. Here [in Hawaii], with so many positive things, our agony will be diluted.

Watch out, Palm Tree Pundit, a gloom cloud (very charming and witty, but gloomy nonetheless) is heading your way.

    She’ll have lots of company here, that’s for sure! There’s quite a crowd here who sees an environmental disaster looming around every corner.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
