in the future. Just in time to play into media driven, irrational fears.

The corporate media is all over this story. Anyone think it's just 'coincidence' they are playing this poll up when we all fully expect to see plenty of black and brown-skinned Democrats gathering for our convention soon?

Corporate media is evil as they come.

3. I'm hoping the few left media muscles we have now will pipe up and call them out for this.
Keith, Rachel, we need you.

4. My husband and I were just talking about that report
this morning, and the consensus in this household, at least, is "who gives a care?" Anchorage's minority population has increased tremendously over the time that I've been living here, and it's been all for the good, as far as I can tell. If nothing else, it makes our parades a lot more interesting. I love the cultural groups in their colorful outfits.

We are a nation of immigrants, after all. I don't see what the big deal is.

7. Sensible people would have that reaction. But too many others don't. And the fascist media
counts on their ignorance and fear every election year.

5. That's the old product, and they still sell it
The new products are introduced after Labor Day.

Watch for many terror threats, wars, and rumors of war.
