Radical. While most of the younger people of the United States only care about reality tv and gossip celebrity news, you've got all these in-depth views and stances on things that people havn't even heard about. (most people)
Now the 9/11 inside job "conspiracy". I agree with you. I think it was an inside job. I think Bush needed a front to get a foothold over there. What I don't get is how he could get away with overthrowing a government and hanging its leader and not be called a terrorist himself.
It is pretty messed up. I can't say I am sad that Saddam is gone, but I don't think he is quite as bad as he was made out to be. He did both good and bad things. The bad things he did were pretty bad, but it was up to his own people to judge him, not us. Personally, I think if he was so hated, then his people "would" have overthrown him.
How this happened? Money and power can get you anything. The only thing standing in you or anyone’s way is morality.
There is a strange phenomenon that happens when someone is aggressive and in the right position to capitalize on it. You can just sort of walk over the top of people. Many people will simply follow out of looking for something to do and they don't question what it is they are doing. I have seen it alot amoung those who are in the military. For example: one day some woman who claimed to be in the military was talking to her family. Chewing them out and saying that she is part of the military because, then she doesn't have to think (as if that is something to brag about). They tell her what to do and she does it. It is a very common mentality.
If you lead, no matter what the cause, people will follow. It is more complex then that, but just leading gets followers. Not good followers mind you, but followers. It is rather disturbing really.
And ya. There is alot people can learn by video media, but they throw it away like garbage and choose to wallow in ignorance instead. It just goes to show that you can rationalize literally anything. That is one reason I decided to put these documentaries here. I have been cataloguing some good ones for my own reasons, but I can also share them with others. Knowledge is power. Ignorance is helplessness.
