That a nice way of saying I am nuts
, but I have never disagreed with that proposition
..it took a long time to free myself from convention and peer pressure to be able to form a view at odds with current popular thinking
.
I have time on my hands to think so I do a situation I treasure because one can see how events seem to favor vested interests..
I suppose I am silly for wondering why we are still at war now that the threat of weapons of mass destruction (pushed down our throats day in day out in the days leading up to the war) is no longer a threat.
I found it funny Mr Bush saying we needed a friendly power installed so as not to have our future oil needs threatened... on CCN of course.. but I chuckled when later in the "news" they had a nostalgic clip on the good old American pick up truck that made it more sacred than apple pie.. I saw that as a manipulation of minds to come round to the belief ..I want a pick up truck so more troops is a good thing
. however we were told that the reason for the war was to remove the threat of weapons of mass destruction ..can anyone remember how terrible that threat was
. now we have the truth ..or closer to it. we need oil that why we are there..mmm
Too much time to think or is it that I actually think about the "news".
Did you notice when Dr David Suzuki was in town giving a talk to the National Press Club the yellow cake lobby was in town doing their thing? Coincidence only noticed by a cynical old man no doubt but I would sure like to compare the travel logs of Dr S and the yellow cake lobby.. not saying Dr S is in league with them but what a great time to bring up yellow cake after DrS has conditioned the minds of the press to the problem. AND how long after that did the PM say we must see the problem and consider N power.. coincidence no doubt simply coincidence
.
But it’s interesting that now we have defined the problem only one solution is being presented
.. a solution that to my mind is too expensive and too dangerous... and I am not a greenie, a liberal or a union man and certainly not aligned with the religious right
. I simply think about the "news" and how convenient it becomes for certain interests.
In my view when "they" want your opinion they will tell you what it is
..I like to form my opinions with the knowledge that money makes the world go round not niceness and clear thinking
.. I bet I am not wrong even if that is cynical
