    Cohen

    Regarding the emails Cohen has received: Cohen seems to have gone to the Bush Neocon School of Human Relations where they teach (preach?) that the average U.S. citizen is not smart enough to initiate an email on their own.

    .

    He appears to also be among those who see their power to shape public opinion being usurped by the multitude of forums open to us via the internet. And he does not like it. How dare we seek new avenues of information and opinion. Had it not been for the internet, most of us would probably never have known about Colbert's remarks at that dinner for dinosaurs.
