Civilization, Economy, Free Market: We Were Born Into Bondage

You know, it really sucks whenever you wake up and realize that you were born into a world of (mental)bondage. Now, don't assume the worst, there are many many many beautiful things in this world and this way of life, but you should know that there are entities out there that are doing their damnedest to get you to buy into a belief system of THEIR choosing PURELY for profit. Most are aware of this at least to an extent. Take paid programming (infomercials) for example, most understand that those commercials are created to dupe the "Simple-Minded" but you should know that they're created to dupe the "Simpler-Minded" and that so many other things that the average citizen is aware of is, or has been, created to dupe the public(masses)...purely for profit.

"The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy, are you buddy? It's the free market. And you're a part of it." - Gordon Gecko, Wall Street (1987)

Everyone of you should watch the documentary called "Inside Job". It is very educational and informative on the subject of the 2008 bail-out. It's narrated my Matt Damon. Here is the IMDB link: Inside Job

"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws." - Mayer Amschel Rothschild
