  • Does anyone still have any doubt? (the Sequel)?

    Who still doubts the ability of our so called leaders to rise above greed and corruption? Who still doubts that the economy has been trashed at the expense of Joe Average? Who still doubts that anything is likely to change much in our favor anytime soon, regardless of who gets elected? That there are no jobs to be had? That nature might settle this for us once and for all? etc, etc, etc.

  • Do we really need to ask these same questions, over and over?

    Things like 'What is the meaning of life' and 'What is the Truth' and 'Is Mankind basically good or bad' have been pounded out way out of proportion. Wouldn't it be better to find a different angle, look through some different lens?

  • How can so many of you still believe what the newspapers tells you?

    Or the internet or Time magazine or the local Plain Dealer;

    If they say it there, it must be true, right?

    These people have no incentive at all to tell the truth;

    What is 'News" is determined by corporate and government lackeys. Things go by, you never hear about things much more important than what you thought they would be. What the hell is 'News"?. Who decides what gets left in, what gets left out? You? Often times if you are told something often enough you will assume it true. Is it?

    Frequencies and wavelengths, vibrations of many kinds, can be utilized to describe nearly everything. Sights, sounds, emotions, attractions are all forms of vibrations. Many of them can be detected, more all the time. It's a matter of having the right kind of 'ears' for the wavelengths you encounter.

  • How can you make people less sheeplike?

    Specific instructions, although often less than fact, are given out on the tube, called news, and the masses shift in their seats and BAHH a little louder. I read it in the Paper! I saw it on TV! plus I heard it three hundred times, so it must be true!
