Is there any hope for us? Or are we doomed. All the magic has been stripped from reality, science rules, but does not answer all the questions, and now there is no safety net for our souls - we may very well be alone. Nothing is holding back the bad from doing bad and the indifferent from siding on the side of righteousness. We are at the mercy of the corporations, the media and the powers that be and are in reality no freer than our peasant ancestors to do what we want unless we have the money. That has not changed it has only been solidified. And then there are the ones who would fight this hopelessness and oppression - the alternative views of new agers and the like. But they are just as bad.
All they want is a piece of the pie, or worse their own pie, and have no interest in really solving the problems facing society. Remember in a gold rush you are supposed to sell shovels - that’s where the real money is. Just like selling lottery tickets instead of playing - or even better just distributing the money to the poor - too much money to be made by the guy at the top. And so you have the whole alternative bunch who say they can cure what medicine can’t, create free energy or gasoline but stopped by Uncle Sam, know the true nature of the universe but have been suppressd by the Church. I was once one the masses that thought maybe there was another way - and maybe there is, but none of these jokers has the answer - they only want your money.
This Joe Newman guy is my latest target of snake oil charlatanism, but it looks like he has been at it for some time. I can’t believe they give this guy positive spin on television when I had to dig through the Internet to find out that this guy is a sham. Like so many others who try to convince us that the answers are out there but the government does not want the secrets leaked. Give it up please! The government is many things including insatiably greedy, but not completely stupid - believe me if the “answer” was out there they wouldn’t be spending time trying to suppress it, they would be trying to find a way to make a buck on it. Sorry, there is no such thing as free energy - I don’t’ think all those guys who have to work the lines and such will work for free, regardless of where the power is coming from. And what about Hydro? Nobody is turning off the water at night - that and wind power are essentially free but you still need equipment to generate it and someone is going to have to pay for it - that’s capitalism.
And so another dream is crushed after just a little research and I further realize that we are screwed because of our own self-interests. There was a time not long ago when people thought of the greater good, however it seem today that Americans cannot see beyond the wellfare of their immediate families. A mindset that everything in the world is fine so long as the people I care about are doing OK. Well that is a very short-sighted view which has in part been leading to the further collapse of this once great nation. If the attack on Pearl Harbor happened today, World War II would have been a disaster much like our current war on terror. Nobody cares as long as stuff is still cheap at WalMart and football is on Sunday. Things are starting to look ugly, the system is breaking down and although it will be a long time before the collapse, when it does happen it will not just take the USA with it. As long as we continue to consume at our incredible levels, once our nation goes into the shitter, the world economy may also go down with it.
