Khate,
Interesting question.
Whereas the yester-year is strewn with incidents about how public opinion has been gained by melting hearts with eloquent speeches, today's world is less trusting of those speeches. And its not just by chance, its the repeated verbal rape by politicians who promise one thing and the next thing you know, they put something up your ass. And its this ring of untrust that is outwardly propelling at a steady speed, gaining momentum and converts with its seemingly infallible logic and almost instantaneous gratification.
So it seems that it is necessary to embrace the brother of evil in order to survive. Selling your soul to the devil is now something desirable. People dont want to vote Ron Paul because he is too honest :) Honesty is now a bad trait in a leadership position.
Will we ever see the light? Is all hope nowandforth dead?
It might relieve you to know that although we may percieve that the world around us is growing more and more evil, it has always been this way. The only difference is we are getting more aware of it, which is, believe it or not, a good thing. That's one possible downside of children being shielded from the rest of the world. Some grow into pessimists when faced with the real world.
We came through the Dark Ages, past the Middle Ages, survived the Industrial and Social Revolutions of the 1700-1800s and have set foot on the frigging moon. We are, historically, at the highest we have ever been. There is both good and bad in the world and we have to realize to see both, not just focus on one, because Bad without good loses its meaning, and vice versa.
Sorry for the rant Khate, I know your post was sarcastic. I don't know what you and San have going on between you but I hope you can settle your differences. It's not his fault that he has to act a little dictatorial around here. That's because our community isn't what you could call a self-governing community :) I'm sure you've been around for a while. If there was an election, who would you nominate for the public seats from here? ;)
Cheers!
