1. The masses are asses.


2. "People are dumb...a person is smart." (Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black)


3. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

4. "It's you and me against the world. Frankly, I think we're going to get creamed." (Old Ziggy poster)


5. "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not to take it any more." (Howard Beale)


I'm more of the "Howard Beale" type. All these "issues" are real hot-buttons for me. Wanna make me explode? Tell me what a great country we have while complaining about how high taxes are while simultaneously, of course, insisting that the money is used to run the country, and on and on.


And THEN, to compound it, admit there are real "problems," THEN start to "see" the truth, and dare I say, "remedies," but DO nothing.


Frankly, I'm all over the place on this one.


No one "deserves" to be taken advantage of, period. And that's exactly what BB does best.


On the other hand, people who don't want to know the truth, who won't act on the truth, probably do deserve to be left alone. Ignorance truly IS bliss.


Red pill. Blue pill. I wish it was the simple.


And at times I wish I could take the blue pill....
