   IAN: The power of a right idea properly presented is
   more powerful than lots of money and The Powers That
   Be that have it. Of course, the ability of bad ideas
   to overcome good ideas by lots of money is still there.

   One can show that the best case out of a set of cases
   is that the Govt, the "The Power That Is," killed the
   230 people found dead, and because it IS the best case
   out of a set of cases, many people will believe it and
   then the "power of a right idea" wins! But The Powers
   That Be aren't going to take it sitting down. Their
   money can reach 1000x more people than the little guy
   with the right idea, and with that extra power they
   can pound the little guy into the ground with false
   and misleading information. I know this first hand.

   So it could be that Power CAN defeat right ideas.
   BUT, I found that it was believing that that gave
   the Power its power over me, since I tried to run
   from the power, and that was a nearly fatal error.
   I think that pessimism feeds and fulfills itself.
   If you think all hope is lost, THEN it will be.
