But what I would say was unveiled as an absurdity and falsehood only if one knew better. Even the grade A highschool student didn't know any better. The best might be suspicious but no more than that.<br /><br />Unsuspected by them was their complicity in my scheming; their every believing, even their doubt only emboldened me. Them not possessing the truth was a great encouragement to me. Ignorant people deserve to be treated ignorantly<br /><br />Now, consider most Americans stopped learning no later than their early 20s. Top that with a lifetime of TV garbage. Do not be in the least surprised that they'll tie the hook, bait the hook, swallow the hook, to be led to their slaughter.<br /><br />I have been keenly watching the machinations of the citizenry, as individuals and as a whole, ever since. <br /><br />As dreary and off putting this sounds, know this; that what is done can be undone. Your fellows rely on you, though they be unaware, to lead them to an understanding congruent to that of the Founders.<br /><br />Of course that is problematic. The problem to be solved is if you are up to the arduous task.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-26253127468125429692023-03-30T19:01:34.405-07:002023-03-30T19:01:34.405-07:00What part of free market capitalism includes the g...What part of free market capitalism includes the government stealing monies or creating money out of thin air (as opposed to voluntary exchange by consumers) to pay to private companies? Sounds more in line with Mussolini's definition of economic fascism. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
