There are many people out there that remain silent for the exact reasons as you.

As long as we are silent, the Bosses can work there VooDoo. We have been conditioned to think what others think matters, through peer pressure in our high school years(just for this reason...keep us silent). Once your eyes have been opened, it is very difficult to shut them again. All the training will slowly diminish, and you will start to talk to others. You will find they are more receptive than you think, some will judge(don't waste your time on them...They are not ready to hear the truth), many others will listen. The best thing we can do is educate each other on the workings of this planet we live on.

Maybe some day things will change for the better.

Peace...Buddhasmiletoke

Thanks for the re-assurance Buddha!

And yes, once your eyes have been opened it's hard to talk to some people. Situation I was in last night, thanksgiving dinner at my aunts. My 10 yr old cousin was asking me things about "what do you want to do as a career..." etc. Just drilling the mad questions, as usual. "I said i dont care aslong as i can live off of it. because you're not going to be happy --" and cut myself off their. I just didn't feel it was right to upset a child like that. The finish would have been "no matter what job you have." There is stresses in every job, and atleast 1 thing in every job that someone is going to dislike. Ill leave that up to her Anti-AnythingBadInThisWorld mother. She is a smart 10 yr old, who thinks the whole world is peaceful and questions EVERYTHING. Her mother of course tells her the standardized stories of the 'real' world. Pisses me off when i talk with that aunt because everytime it always goes back to why i smoke marijuana. "why? its illegal you can get arrested for it. people who smoke pot are looked at as dirty, hippies with no future...." Just very demeaning statements that i take great offence to. But im not going to outright tell her where to go and what to do, because after all, she is my aunt.


Perfect example of how a great number of people think in todays world. Too ignorant to look at things on any other angle.

Believe all of these movies, especially the 4th one.

These tactics have been used again and again through out history to sway the general public to change their way of thinking. Hitler destoyed his own government buildings to achieve the same goal before WWII. Bush did the same as Hitler with 911, remember, America lost alot of freedoms after the 911 exercise, in the name of "Homeland Security" and with the blessing of most American citizens.

Bush..."The Homeland", Hitler..."The Fatherland", so similar it's scary, but that's just crazy...Right... wink
