I've been thinking about the things we don't talk about (in the USA). We can talk about many things here. There are no rules forbidding it. But even here, some of these subjects are hot potatoes. And if there is an official story, parts of it are likely to be defended. It is as if we live lies, which must not be challenged.

First time posting here, but I've been reading a lot. Impressed by the good writing. I was floridagal at TOS and usually wrote about education reforms that are changing the public nature of our schools into private structures with little oversight.

I have a passion about our former Governor and Senator, Bob Graham. I saw him on 60 Minutes tonight, and he was still into this topic strongly. But his time was so short and the subject so limited that I was disappointed.

I decided that I'm going to do an essay about things that STILL bug the hell out of me. These have been "Settled" for a long time among my political circles, but they're things that every time I think of them, make me go "There's something WRONG here." I bring this up because there are a lot of accusations of Conspiracy Theory brought up when even the hint of questioning the official story comes up.
