"That creeping totalitarianism has made possible the rise of a nonentity like Bush who represents nothing.He has been enabled by a million people like him who believe in nothing except money and the power it confers on people who believe in nothing.They owe no allegiance to any one or any community.Such hit-and-run men are the ones who now run our corporations.To them our communities are simply a source of capital to be sucked dry and the carcasses left behind."

it makes me wonder why it seems like everywhere i go and everywhere i look people are chasing aether.

we've all been marketed to, advertised to, and "sold" in so many ways for so long, it's like the majority of people cannot discern reality or think a substantial thought.

it's avarice, but not for great things: where are our jonas salks, our FDRs, our kennedys? where are the great minds? i think raw ambition towards great things, ennobling things, elevate us and humanity.

however, the doltish many have that passion, that ambition, that avarice for things that truly are insubstantial, for things that do not matter. hummer commercials have been elevated to art forms and our highest grossing motion pictures read like commercials. product placement is everywhere and the conditioning is in place.

people in power know this, they rely on simple psychological theories to manipulate us. they know it will work. just market something to the masses. one more "Big Idea" one more plan.

thanks for writing the paragraph above i quoted in my message.
