Don cracks me up, he will hold to his beliefs in the face of overwhelming facts. He can do so in part because he provides his own definitions.

Statistically, contradictory but accurate information will only reinforce those beliefs.

Kind of amusing to watch folks "discover" the "truths" about what is going on in the world ... as if they are breaking ground as detectives ... Captain Cook discovering the Sandwich Islands (that the Polynesians had discovered thousand years before).

News flash: what's "really going on in the world", politically, financially, socially, isn't a well kept secret ... it's been obvious and available information for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. But each new Christopher Columbus stakes his claim -- in spite of Leif Ericson and the Chinese and a bunch of others before.

Funniest part is imagining these bold detectives and explorers commandeering the planet with a fresh, altruistic system at the very least rivaling the work of our founding fathers. I'm sure Don9 has the "right stuff" to make the change happen. Hey! He could enlist ytg! We know that guy loves to "serve others" and knows no bounds of self sacrifice! And they could get the new guy -- viewpointihave -- to be their historian and he could "wrote" the biographies of the saviors. Cool!

If only people would listen.

But its depressing watching others discover "truths" previously revealed by Joseph McCarthy and Archie Bunker.

Your not following the conversation. We are talking the banking cartel and world elitist now ... the people who really control the world and have for longer than you or I have been around. The need to change towards a socialist society is more of an effective way to control the masses for the next phase. You can't have entrepreneurs and capitalist in a society you are trying to control.

I presume you mean me? Agree that the world is run by sociopaths with smoke and mirrors? Well yeah, I do! We got that far before. But what you make of it, how you define it, what you propose should and can be done about it -- and a very long laundry list more -- NO. You're nuts Don9. And you don't seem to be able to add 2+2 even with a calculator.

Don't get me wrong though. You have a boat. I don't like your kind of boat, but boats is boats. And I always reserve at least a small place in my heart for people who like boats And I actually don't find you to be an evil person ... demented, but not evil. I think that the persona you have created is perfectly well intentioned to boot. And you like fish, too. That's a really good thing.

If the sociopaths get rid of the capitalists they will have done a very great thing for the future of our children, grandchildren and the planet. Sooner the better. The Ponzi scheme known as capitalism will kill the goose that lays our golden eggs ... it will choke this planet to where even the clever sociopaths can't breath the air -- let alone the rest of us find our true souls.
