    Gee, I would love to see this … this appears to lay out in step-by-step detail exactly how we are led to ‘see’ what is not true. But, I live in Federal Way, and am not going to, again, drive alone all the way to Fremont. Now, if someone from down here wanted to split the gas, I’m available to do the driving πŸ™‚

      Wallingford, not Fremont. Carpooling should be a good option if you can find someone. The Wallingford site is also on the bus line, but I am not sure of your connections. Cheers

    The Media Education Foundation site has a list of suggested sources for independent news on Palestine, Israel, and US middle east affairs that provide an alternative to the mainstream corporate media, which may help us all get a fuller view of events and opinions on these important issues.
