I guess you've missed the posts I've been making for years.
People are taxed, so the government can do our charity for us.
People are taught how cheap life is.
The government brings drugs In ,creates a drug culture, fills the private prison and even has contractual obligations to maintain a certain percentage of capacity.
The people are frustrated with having no real say in government policy and the economy is and has been in a long decline and there is no indication that the policies that caused it will change.
And, there are and always have been people who just suck.
That number seems to be increasing.

I am who I am. I know what I know. I do and feel how I know is right. I am not the average person. I am not easily swayed. I must have sufficient evidence to believe something that someone else believes. I am educated, not by the schools,exclusively, but from searching out information that allows observed reality to align with what I see. I Know about how the system works. I spent years delving into it. I know about God, I've spent forty years searching my heart. I have a friend who never fails to be in church when the doors are open who, I don't believe, understands what
The joy of the Lord means, at all, while I am totally getting it.
I didn't even know who Ron Paul was when I was developing my political thinking. I had no idea that Henry Ford had spoken against the Federal Reserve before I discovered the evil that it is.
Original thought is not foreign to me.

I asked my seventh grade history teacher, as I pointed to the shapes on the globe, when was this all one piece? Look at the Atlantic ocean, look at how those lines are so ready tfit together.


He said that they never were. I disagree.

Eighth grade, solar system study. I looked at the period of each planet. I saw no reasons why they wouldn't one day align. I asked when they would. Teacher said
Never
They have, more than once, since.

I'm not saying that the propaganda never impacted my thinking or that I'm not still affected in places. I study myself for indicators. I was single from 21 to 30, and I didn't date. I was busy studying my mind and heart. I'm not Taught. I am a product of discovery, after looking at what is being taught, and scoffing at it.

Watch a football game. FEEL the excitement of those fighter jets flying over, hear the song, be aware of those heart expanding sensations of being a part of that, Ohhh so Great Nation, get all patriotic, and run join up and fight against the evil. Whichever evil is the evil of the week.

The dumb masses eat it up. I, once upon a time, was one.

darn Jog, you had some dumb a$$ teachers.....
