| I read and enjoyed the article but felt the writer's points would have been more credible had they used nonfiction as a foundation for their opinion.

| "Democracy" is just a sugar-coated word for corporatocracy. The same people who gave you "capitalism" also gave you communism, fascism, any every other form of government. The US and Britain were the main funders of the establishment of the USSR. Wall Street put Hitler in Power. In fact, Hitler was ... |

| The vast majority of people in law enforcement are highly intelligent, fair minded people who believe in justice. That is the reason they became police officers in the first place. LOL I didn't say I agreed with every single line in his/her report. Most of it I did, but honestly I don't even trust ... |

| I title this thread "ignorance and conformity- a dangerous addiction". Our society has been said to have enough propaganda to make Stalin cream his pants. This is quite accurate in my opinion. We're given a psychopathic culture of half truths, ego roiding, delusion, and clinging to illusions.... A s... |

| Yes, conspiracy theories are more interesting than the truth. Greenblue.... I thought you said that "all truth is subjective" and "evidence doesn't equal proof". Once again your contradicting yourself, your denying a theory (or "theory") and stating what you believe to be an objective truth. But ju... |

| "The Church kept closer to reason than Galileo". Seems to be a creationist argument ;) AFAIK Heliocentrism theory was already made and Galileo was the first one to provide evidence to support it, and the church rejected it at the time considering it Heresy, similar to why creationists reject evolut... |

| People laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round, because it wasn't a popular theory. They called him a kook, a weirdo. Because he did not follow the crowd, and he did not have a popular theory. Then Columbus proved the world was round, and people shut him off and did not want... |

| AG, human emotions don't hold people back that much unless the person lets them. Which most people do, because they can't handle the truth. But just because you, or most, can't not get emotionally involved in an opinion doesn't mean everyone can't. Your pretty much saying "oh I'm not smart enough so... |
