There's Another Ad Coming To Your TV Today.

Hey! Tomorrow is 10-10-10. I have no idea if that has any significance, but I thought it was neat. Well anyway off to the races. Some people don't feel it's any big deal that political attack ads are financed by individuals or entities who's identities are kept secret. After all, both sides do it. But the problem isn't that one side or the other does it. Nor is the problem that we have to endure all these miserable ads, and they are miserable. No, the problem is that because of these ads, we will not know the truth about any of the candidates because we can't tell if there is any truth to any of the information being blared at us night and day. Even the candidates themselves aren't really telling the truth when they run down their opponents. What we get is outright lies or partial statements taken out of context. Which is the same thing as a lie to me. How about you? I mean If I say "good morning and how are you" to you. Then say "It's supposed to rain on Tuesday". You could play back "rain on you" which would sound like I was saying something unpleasant to you. Now, maybe I felt like saying that to you, but I didn't. And that's about as nice as you'll hear on any of these ads they're running. The big problem though is still that they're being paid for by corporations or countries that you probably don't like very much. If they were proud of what was being said, don't you think they'd be putting their names on the ads? I mean they sure put their names on commercials that show their products or services in a good light. So if they really believe in the content of these ads and are proud to say so, how come they do it in secret? How come our government allows them to keep it secret? Oh, that's right. Our Supreme Court thinks it's a good idea. And since it's campaign time, the politicians think so too. Do you think that after the elections, congress will put a stop to this secret stuff? Or unlimited amounts of money being used? Well, if it works for them, they sure won't.
