Yes, I am sure that many people with varying political philosophies will take
this for whatever they can make of it. I am just saying that water flows
downhill because of a force (gravity) and circumstances.
As I pointed out in my earlier post, with respect to pro-wealthy propaganda,
I see the forces (all upside, no downside) and the circumstances (propaganda
PR flack firms paid by lobbies, combined with media outlets) therefore I
assume that such propaganda is flowing downhill somewhere.....maybe all over
the place.
