Yeah, he talked about the bewildered herd in "Media Control". Actually, in refering to your skill in drawing attention to the "big"issues, I was talking about the title- I mean, the title made it look like the poem would be about the abortion debate, but your poem pointed out that it is probably not THE MOST important thing, (even though it is worth arguing about and being passionate about) it is one that politicians fight about so often and it takes up so much time while other stuff, bigger stuff, slips by the public each day our elected officials meet. Not that we're talking about it, but you might be interested to know that the US Senate passed a bill last week that would make it illegal to perform partial birth abortions (including when it was deemed necessary by 2 different doctors for the mother's health). Contrary to what you might expect, Maine's 2 republican senators both voted against making it illegal.

thanks sliver :)

thats one of the best catch phrases i have ever seen. I love it. and now im jealous of you. damn it.

No. Nothing seems to help, really. I liked the read, btw - not sure if that came through (rushing a bit playing catch-up, sorry). Made me want to know who inspired it (not that I'm asking, that was just the effect).

Bewildered herd? I prefer "We the Sheeple."

No, do you?
