nine eleven truth

Currently reading the late, great Howard Zinn's A People's History Of The United States, and compared to the "reality" teevee of this day, I am astonished at how easily we forget that this nation has always had a sinfully successful PR department. Even in the time of the American Revolution, over a fifth of the population were slaves, and over 90% of the nation's wealth was in the possession of less than 10% of the total population (today's numbers are even worse).
Even fifty years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, with that "all men are created equal" jazz, the only persons who could legally vote in any election were specifically property-owning white men. No slaves (blacks or indians), no indentured servants, no laborers, and certainly no women. That equates to less than one-sixth of the total population. Democracy has never worked. As Orwell said, some are more equal than others.

I am not a "truther" per se (such a nihilist I cannot even believe in labels, especially labels that overstate the obvious), but Tower 7?

C'mon, kids...
