A question:

Those of you who have pulled this one line out - entirely out of context - to
the exclusion of the rest of my post -- did you miss the point of my post - as
expressed in the rest of the message ?

Or did you just ignore it intentionally ?

I'll state it again, in case you missed it by accident:

" All of these 'warning' messages imply that we are astute enough to overcome 30
years of media propaganda regarding our diet, but that we don't have a clue
about the rest of our lives - whether it be the state of the environment, the
government's intentions regarding the internet, or what computer viruses are
making the rounds. "
