There was a programm just a few days ago on the Dutch television, which I found quite interesting.
If you care you can watch it here: (sometimes Dutch, or subtitled. But I think most of you guys understand English

)

I don't want to make a statement here, just a bit dust to think about

Btw: download could take awhile.

Let's just get it in before the the thread turns political: Yeah, Fox news is beyond belief. It's scary how much power it wields though, people really trust info that comes from a program that *looks* like a real news station. A good friend of mine is conservative and watches Fox. My friend is very intelligent, and in years past was very well informed, but over the last few years his world views has gotten more and more cartoonish. Every now and then he'll just spout some weird thing that he believes is fact because he heard it on Fox. He completely believes in the Iraq-Al Qaeda connection, and what's worse his views sort of morph along with Fox's rhetoric. I can really see the effect.

BTW, that was a good program, thanks for the link.
