Lets look at the propaganda machine today.
Headline, Boston Globe, Heating aid slashed; N.E. faces burden
US spending was tied to Alaska drilling
the federal program to help poor families heat their homes got cut to less than half the amount originally promised by Congress, because of a series of late night maneuvers on Wednesday that could leave tens of thousands of New England families struggling with skyrocketing heating bills this winter.
What the propaganda machine wants you to believe here is that your pocket book is being hurt because we are not drilling in Alaska. They do not mention that the oil companies made 10 billion dollars profit in the past month, (Exxon/Mobile) If these companies settled for eight billion dollars profit then all the skyrocketing prices would be kept in check. What they want you to believe is we must drill, they being large oil and congress which is tied directly to the purse strings of oil, see the Bush Cheney history, There is no shortage, there is only gouging, and a capitalist need for more, at the expense of some of the last lands on the planet untouched by the virus known as man.
New topic. Same propaganda machine.
We put 20 thousand more troops in Iraq for the elections just held. Our pentagon just stated they may, (see the meaning of may), reduce the troop strength by 8000 men. My math says that leaves a increase of 12000, not a decrease of maybe 8 thousand. All this is because our leaders believe you are not intelligent enough to think out fully what they are saying and what it really means.
Same propaganda machine, I know this will ruffle feathers, but.
Merry Christmas,
Old testament, Man is made in the image of God.
New testament, God is made in the image of man.
Please come out of the cave and see what is happening on this planet.

Good call brother. We may be taught one thing and believe another or believe one thing a see it to be another. What we have to do is look around us and not be shy to tell the truth. I am glad you realize that there isn't a simple reality to things. We are decieved by the machine, but then again, we let ourselves be. All it takes is a little effort, and we can gain so much more clarity.
Also, am excited about the oil topic because I'm about to go see Syriana, a movie about the kind of corruption you're talking about. Can't wait.
Merry Christmas to you. May you have many blessings, with your realization that God cannot be manipulated by us. We are all His children. I guess maybe I'm biased towards the old testament? Share yourself around.
Very good answer sibrarrett. And I wish he would "share himself" around.
He is a pretty wise person.
"Whatsoever a man thinketh so shall he be." I want to be different.
I want to be me. And not follow after fables. It is not for me.
