Has anyone ever heard "The Pretender" by Jackson Browne?
"I'm going to be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
To the heart and the soul of the spender
And believe in whatever may lie"
Well, Gary Jacobucci wrote this in regard to rising fuel prices:
Peak oil is a myth, and peak oil is a scam upon the world. But of course, I didn't grow up in a third world country. I didn't research any of this about peak oil. I should just stop posting because I am a tin foil wearing lady.
According to Webster's dictionary, to conspire only means "to act in harmony toward a common end."
When are we going to wake up and consider other viewpoints without engaging in dismissal and/or committing argumentum ad hominem fallacies?

After several years of not watching TV, I've decided to throw in the towel and go back to being programmed. Awakening to the fact that we live in a pretend world created by a criminally insane, global mafia takes too much of my time and no one wants to know about it anyway.
I want to be able to watch coliseum sports with my fellow Americans and find some meaning in who won and lost. I want to watch the Olympics this summer and not remember that it was started by the warring Greek Empire to show their superiority over weaker nations.
When another in my community is diagnosed with cancer, I want to feel sadness that they are the hapless victim of such an insidious disease. I want to appreciate the mutilating, poisoning and burning of cancer patients as modern medicine. I want to feel the hope that there are billions of dollars and brilliant minds working on a cure that is surely right around the corner. I want to purge from my mind that the Eskimos, the Hopis and the Navahos have no incidence of cancer when eating their indigenous diets, as do many other cultures around the world, yet are equally or more susceptible to cancer when eating a traditional American diet and submitting to the modern vaccination program. I want to feel with my fellow citizens that there is nothing I can do about it anyway, and if the big C takes me, that's just the way it is.
I want to believe that our monetary system is too complicated to understand and that there are people far smarter than I looking out for our best interest. I want to believe that recessions and depressions are just inevitable business cycles and ignore that the Federal Reserve is a multi-national privately owned corporation. I want to forget Barry Goldwater's statement; "Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States"
I want to believe that America was attacked on 9/11 by Islamists and that Israel is our friend. I want to forget the PNAC documents saying that "a global war on terrorism would be a tough sell to the American public without a catalyzing and catastrophic event, like a new Pearl Harbor."
I want to believe with my fellow citizens that the Middle East is a hotbed of terrorism and that they want nuclear technology only to develop weapons of mass destruction and ignore that the countries identified as being the Axis of Evil are the countries that have resisted being under the thumb of the IMF and World Bank. I want to be able to relate to the thought of "bombing them back to the Stone Age" without being bothered by the thought that these bombs are falling on mothers and children.
I want to embrace the self-loathing of the human race; that there are too many people; that we are running out of oil, food and water; that the carbon footprint of man is causing global warming - and ignore the think tank documents calling for these ideas as strategies for controlling the global population thirty years ago.
I want to ignore that the media darling being presented to us for president has the names of Hussein and Obama, when the New World Order poster boys for the war on terrorism were Hussein and Osama.
I've want to just be an everyman and embrace the lyrics of Jackson Browne; "I'm going to be a happy idiot and struggle for the legal tender."
The only problem I'm having is how to put the genie back in the bottle.
