I love cheeseburgers, too, and I have the physique to prove it. However, I don't hold them at the pinnacle of my existence, either.
everyone says something i completely agree with, if i just wait long enough for them to sooner or later do so. and don't forget the automatic tracking and data mining of virtually ALL credit card transactions. however it is done though, the only way for everyone to be kept track of all of the time, is for everyone to have to be involved all of the time in doing so. machines can keep track, but until someone with decision making authority reads their logs, nothing really happens. obviously that doesn't mean anyone is safe, anywhere anytime either. i do think governments, and the economic intrests which control them, have gone WAAaaaay too far though. as it is already. in a FREE world, we'd have public transportation, and you wouldn't have to show any kind of identification to ride it. the lack of annonymous and impromptu mobility, is indeed one form of the lack of any sort of real freedom. =^^= .../\...
Its funny you say. My head is often in a cloud. Either of smoke, or pussy. Seriously though, you talk about learning from history. But you're the king of conspiracy theories on this site. While it is true that we can look back at powerful people and say that they had an agenda that was less than public, that very same agenda was always in line with their political philosophies. So get educated in political philosophies, you say? I did. They gave me a nice diploma with my name on it and everything. What did I learn? That every single conspiracy is either bullshit or, most importantly, common knowledge among the heads in the field. Most of them are even in book form. Not books by Michael Moore or Alex Jones either. By real live people with real live knowledge. By real critics of the political philosophies of current leaders. Everything is not alright. I wonder if it ever could be. But everything is alright enough. Tomorrow you'll be as free as you were today. Free to do just about anything. Free enough to find the people that have the technology to side step these measures. They've always been around. Just as certain as there have always been laws, there will be people who feel enslaved by them. On that, you're right.
Oh, I have read the books of many insiders to the agenda, which is how I am aware of what's going on and where things are headed. This was admitted in books by people such as Zbigniew Brzezinski and Aldous Huxley (who was writing, not fiction, but what he had foreknowledge of, and is the world that we have seen emerge today).
looks a bit more orwellian then huxlian to me. unless maybe that's what you ment. orwellian, not for some idological pretence, which is only to get the pleebs to go along with it, but the circular self-servingness, of little green pieces of paper chaising little green pieces of paper, to the temporary short term bennifit of the few, at the expence not merely of the many, but of all. =^^= .../\...
We are living in an Orwellian 1984 world now, which is the precursor to the Brave New World Huxley wrote about, where people would no longer have the means to think for themselves and people would be bred for certain purposes.
the left hand of darkness is light? you ARE of course refering to kroeber-leguine, the little girl in the house ishi was brought to, who grew up to become an english teacher and retired to become a writer of anthropology based speculative fiction. =^^= .../\...
