  As I mentioned earlier, when we're not home my wife and I leave
  a radio on tuned to an AM talk show, turned up loud.   And when
  I come home after work or at lunch I often hear the most bizarre
  things.   One program that's on at lunch extols the alleged
  virtues of Bo Gritz, for instance.   People seem to call in
  from all over the country on this one, not just to talk about
  Gritz (his supporters are called "patriots") but to talk in
  general about how everything we know is a sham:   The networks
  are all run by some secretive shadow government, ditto the banks,
  the Red Cross doesn't really help people with the money you give
  them, the phone company is secretely tracking your life, there
  are unpublicized treaties the US has signed which give the UN 
  the right to take over the country, Randy Weaver has to be killed
  now because he knows too much, the government is lying to us about
  AIDS/HIV, etc, etc.    

  Talk radio afficionados seem to live in a different world from
  me and anyone else I know.  Sometimes I think we're picking up
  these broadcasts from some weird, parallel universe.  I know 
  that to be successful the talkmeister has to try to drum up
  as much controversy as he can, but if I listened to any of
  this stuff regularly I'd be living up on a mountain with a
  few years' supply of food and ammo, and a hoard of gold coins.
  I've often wondered who the people are who belive/listen to 
  these kinds of shows.  Do they live their life in a kind of seige
  mentality where every stranger they see, and especially every
  government or corporate official is some kind of agent or
  co-conspirator?
  
  I don't know anything about the WBAI program, above, or about
  secret US government personal monitoring software.  But I was
  struck by the similarity of tone to the stuff that's on my AM
  radio at home.
