I think explaining this as listening or questioning to what people 
*talk* about might be more prudent to the discussion. I have a 
different view in that  LV, per the Order members in OoP, likes to 
operate in secrecy and that's strikingly similiar to what happened 
with the Nazis in WW2. Here's one way I can explain what I'm trying 
to say: during the Holocaust, people *talked* about the rumors they 
heard WRT what was really happening to their neighboring Jews after 
being taken by the Nazis.  The *truth* came to light after all the 
talk, didn't it? The Quibbler, while not taken seriously about 
Fudge's goblin dinners (wooo, yummy), was taken more seriously by 
some wizards and sold copious copies when Harry told his story much 
the same way rumors about Holocaust came to print.  Maybe that's 
more the point I was trying portray, whether I'm right or wrong 
really doesn't matter to me. I firmly believe (and this is my 
opinion) there is a way to the truth if you seek it out.



Alla:

Great example, Charme. That is why probably even though I think 
Fudge is significantly more at fault that general public of WW, I am 
NOT getting general public off the hook.
They heard Harry's story, albeit not detailed one. They were given 
some hints to believe that Voldemort maybe back. They KNOW who 
Voldemort was. Hmmm, maybe now it is time for them to at least try 
and search for the truth?

But, who knows, maybe I have to high opinion of the intelligence of 
genral public of WW. :o)
