After 60 years of contemplation I had an epiphany today. My longtime dilemma stems from the fact that people in this country think they are SPECIAL and SMARTER and FREE. And what dawns on me today (April 30th 2017 at 1 pm) is that today's true American Freedom is that people here can believe any STUPID ASININE thing they want. Don't confuse them with facts or bore them with long explanations. Make sure the philosophy you want them to accept has a catchy phrase that fits on a bumper sticker. It all makes sense to me now. I know, it sounds so obvious when it's stated like this. We all know it's true and has been true but for some reason I kept thinking that eventually people would see how manipulated they are. But it just gets worse. It seems, the worse things get, the more people refuse to see it. Perhaps it's a coping mechanism.
A few examples;
A fetus is Sacred, unless an American bomb falls on it.
I voted for him /or her because they are for the little guy.
We have to fight them there so we don't have to fight them here!
My Favorite!
Freedom isn't Free (I like that it's catchy and requires us to believe we have to continue spending huge amount of money to be free AND, the deeper meaning is Freedom does not equal "Being Free."
OK, maybe I need some better examples but you get the idea.
Like the idea that watching Dancing with the Stars is a Cultural Event.
