| Michael, let me start by saying that I too am deeply suspicious of the actions and motives of the powers that be. Whether they be politicians, corporations or secret services. I am also quite aware that there are two concurrent histories being played out; the official version as fed to us via media, social and cultural conditioning, and 'recorded' versions of events as seen through our myopic lens and there is what actually happens which is often hidden from the masses. However, I don't know that it is particularly helpful that you force your view upon everyone at any given time. People can never be forced to see what they don't want to see or cannot accept. If anything you do a disservice to any valid information that you present in the manner you go about it. The audience on this forum is not one that is receptive and no amount of force or persistence will change that. We see what we believe and to try and fundamentally change the beliefs of others only feeds hostility and hardens those that you are trying to communicate with. As I said, I don't necessarily believe the official stories we are given, and I certainly find it hard to justify calling the west civilized but I prefer to approach these issues from a reasoned and balanced perspective. We surely don't need any more conflict in the world. |
