One of the primary taboos of this culture is recognition of the intent behind broadcast media - the television and the radio as delivery systems. The implied purpose, the reason why they exist, which is never explained to children, is the same as that behind a grandmother's lap and folktales, or the patient words and gestures, the time a father takes to show a child how to do something.
We're hardwired to listen and observe when we're young, and that's been hijacked by other creatures who care nothing for what happens, to us or to our children, only for themselves.
Television is not a neutral space, and more importantly, more damning, it is not a common space except at its most extreme margins. But we're supposed to think of it, to feel it, as ours.
Free information! Martha Stewart's in jail! Floods in Arizona! Mars colony rebels!
That's the frequency, the wavelength it comes in on, but it's a marketing ploy, a sales device, those programs exist only to deliver attention, or they did in their first two or three generations; now they exist to put ideas into the blank pools of the public mind.
Kerry's getting attacked for being indecisive, or waffling, or some new word that means the same thing. But if you consider it, the craft that's the main tool of his opponents is virtually unbeatable in that arena.
The illusion is the television provides neutral space - or a worse lie, home space - it's ours, it's a grandmother, it wears grandmother's clothes. But it's the wolf in disguise. It's a predator, it ate our grandmother. Really, I mean it.
So if Kerry takes a stand the full power of the television mind-control technology will be turned on whatever stand he takes, and it will be vaporized.
These creatures have proved to themselves and to the world they can deny reality and rewrite it at their will, vagueness is the only possible move against that. So he gets attacked for vagueness, as he would be attacked for the particulars of any position he took.

What concerns me far more is that in each segment of the debates I've seen, each candidate, with the exception of Cheney, has used the word "kill". Used it almost dispassionately, as though it had no more weight than the word "taxes".
