   They are?  Please provide us an example of such a "media campaign"   
   funded by "giant petroleum companies".

   Please provide us an example of that as well.  I keep hearing about   
   these "cigarettes are good for you" ads, but I never saw one when I was   
   growing up and never had any notion that smoking was healthy.  There   
   were some in the '30s and '40s that suggested some benefits but that was   
   before any link between smoking and cancer was announced.

   Give us an example of such an action by "entrenched wealth".   
      
   We had nuclear you know.  What killed it was Three Mile Island occurring   
   within a week or of the release of "The China Syndrome".  Are you   
   suggesting that "entrenched wealth" caused Three Mile Island to have a   
   partial meltdown?  Are you suggesting that Hanoi Jane is a shill for   
   "entrenched wealth"?
