At one time in my life I was really up on all this stuff, but now I can't really be that bothered, as if it is something I cannot directly influence, then why bother, what's the point getting one's knickers in a twist about things beyond your control. Sure one can seek to educate others, but there exists one problem in that, and that problem is, are they listening, or are lights on but nobody's home, just more information in the sea of information. Perhaps it is we can't handle anything we have to think about anymore, we need to be told and even then if what it is we are being told is not presented with all the special effects and CGI, we have great difficulty in retaining that information, and acting on it. But having said all that, personaly I see myself as a rebel, for I will not follow the Status Quo, I seek my own life with ideas and ideals that appeal to me, not what I am expected to adhere to. As what we are expected to adhere to, well the popular tv is a good example of that, just watch what the programming is, mindless pap, celebrities and money making chances at stardom and with that the education into the false belief that everyone is automaticaly good at entertainment, the hard work ethic largely ignored for that is what it all is, entertainment, we are being taught to disengage the thinking part of our brain and just follow the herd. The only people that tend to listen to others education is those who can similarly be labelled, the outsiders in society, those that get called conspiracy theorists because the socitetal programming has not worked on them. Being labelled a nut is the next line of defence for those that don't want us to know.
