I know I'm just crankin' out the posts here but I got another one for ya..one I snagged from Mat Gleason of
Coagula's LJ which I found to be quite interesting:
" But I have a little saying that I would like to share with everyone. This concerns the barrage of opinions about Saddam's capture that are all over the internet, but it sums up how i feel about most of what passes for analysis of the world and national situation:
Take all of your conspiracy theories and stuff them in your ass. Accept that it is a wild, uncontrollable world out there, and that the government and the propaganda machines and the media do NOT have their shit together in any way to be precise to the caliber which it would take to execute even the simplest of your complex conspiracy theories. The people in charge (and they are in charge, they don't take orders from a little room of pointy headed cigar-smokers, nor do they answer to the architect of the Matrix), they show up to work and they just try scenario one and then they try #2 and that is all they do, they don't pull the strings of reality, they are NOT watching me or you and their policies are not affecting our lives. We are on our own and it is so lonely out on a limb.
Now go live your life and understand that it is you who determine your fate and nobody is getting in your way in an attempt to quash or undermine your freedom. "
