Life was so much better when I lived in the “bubble” unaware that my freedoms had some very distinct boundaries. If I stayed in my sandbox I was OK. But if I ventured out, if I became a critical thinker, read, questioned authority, thought beyond Democrat or Republican, realized that my opinion and perceptions were being managed by a corporate media, realized that there was no public policy only corporate policy, I became a subversive. But how could I reconcile continual war, wiretapping, unanswered 9/11 questions, torture, rendition, terrorism, the loss of freedom, police brutality, news suppression, the bailouts, evaporation of the public option, a toothless financial reform, no real audit of the Fed, BP's constant lies, political bribery, uncharged war criminals and corruption beyond belief. My country was disappearing.  How could I do nothing ?

"deceptions" is not a fictional piece, it is a documentary, a recording, an assembly of facts that are part of the historical record, including a population that is letting this happen. So please ... get engaged, read, watch a movie, get involved and prove me wrong   --->  I WANT TO BE WRONG !

1. There are two views of what is existence.
One of them is despair based, that existence is evil. And much hurt to many people occur, including many things you mention to validate that concept.

The other is that there is justice with compassion, and there are some victories and improvements over much of history showing societies getting better, with some sliding back to worse areas at times in some decades.



You can't know what is right, you would have to claim having all knowledge, people don't, and from that you can not be certain.

So then you have to decide what you think is better, then you become part of the side you think is best. Although there is also mercy when a mistake is made, and forgiveness when not as best as you can be.


Nobody can know for sure if existence is evil, or if some evil is in an existence moving to better situations for more people.


So you get to pick what you think is best to side with. You can't pick based on which side you know for sure will win, although when you pick, sometimes you can glimpse the victory.



And I am still due beer and travel money, and many experiences. <- have I lost or won? How would you know?
