  • Innocence theorists still think it's just one big coincidence and that the Tell Lie Vision is purely for entertainment and they can choose to change the channel.

  • How nice a government that wants to control the hearts and minds of the people with lies and deception. Watch TV, hear the latest lies. Its just an evil puppet show, and we know it.
