And?....
If you have solid evidence that Gage puts his campaign solicitiations into his own personal pocket, then you might have something here, otherwise, I fail to see why this should raise any eyebrows, organizations for all sorts of causes campaign for donations to cover ops costs ALL THE TIME.
How dare they charge for the truth?
Go to your local Barnes and Noble and shoplift some non fiction books and documentary DVD's... If they stop you just explain that the truth should be free!
Didn't the publishers of the 9/11 commission report make MILLIONS off the sale of those books? Do you not have issue with this as well?

If Gage were publishing under 'fiction', or if he had any evidence to back up his ravings, I would not have a problem with it.
In fact, if he published his works under 'religion', I would fine with that also.

So then what's the big deal if it's fiction then? The retailer can decide where to categorize his works.Originally Posted by Hannibal
Should Tom Clancey and Stephen King be shut down for selling works of fiction?
All donations are voluntary and support the cause stated, right? Nobody is forced to give money? They know why they give it and choose to. So what's the problem?

King and Clancey are not claiming their fiction as fact, in order to fleece the gullible.
Richard Gage is, and I will point it out when he does. Exactly the same way I would a snake oil salesman or cult evangelist.

They didn't make a dime off the sale of the books.
The publisher was the US Government Printing office. The charge for the actual truth was the cost of publishing and the report remains free on-line to whoever wants to read it. You should try it sometime.

We have. I think my favorite parts are the unverifiable "just trust us" added on notes.
EVERYBODY call in sick tomorrow, then watch real change begin. Hit the corporate fat cats directly in the pocketbook.

That and you have them saying "the president told us this" and "the CIA told us that" where not so much them saying what happened so much as saying what they were told that happened.

So if that is your fractured yardstick of measurement, you can't even be sure that your name is John Doe. After all, your parents could have been lying to you and everybody else right?
What you are saying is that unless you see it with your own eyes as it happens, you trust nothing and nobody.
Which sums up why your movement is so pathetic. Most people aren't mentally ill like twoofers proudly profess they are.

That of course is completely wrong. The publisher personally chosen by the commission themselves to get them on shelves in time for release to congress and the president was W. W. Norton & Co. who made 6 million in profit, donating 10% .
