you may think you are smarter than us. I know I'm getting personal, but you seem so smug. You might think you're smarter than us based on our comments. But don't bet on it. Don't be so omniscient man. Dare to question yourself.
... There are conspiracy people who consider tptb as a nefarious cabal of world controllers that may or may not go back long ago with designs at world domination, I am not one of those people who believe that. ...
... This is not to say that I deny that society has been subjected to ''control'' but rather it's that my view of tptb are not like some would portray it to be. ...
... I see them as those who have risen to the tops of the established power system. I see that power system basically as the economic system by which stuff is produced, traded and sold. What may have begun as simply one person seeking to trade a horse for a cow, or a bushel of corn for a hammer. Each thinking that they got the better side of the bargain.
Then of course there was the guy who decided to trade a ''sick'' horse for a ''healthy'' cow without telling the other guy about it being sick.
And that is where I think we are today. People selling stuff to other people with promises of this and that when in reality the product is not as great as it is promoted to be. And now, basically, those ''sellers'' are for the most part major corporations that do most of the producing and own most of the transportation and selling of product. Those people at the top are to my way of seeing things the powers that be. And yes they are nefarious because they see the rest of us as nothing more than the toss away part of their profit schemes. Each will buy and sell, lie and cheat to keep their own korporate kingdoms at the apex of the wealth pyramid.

Ever get the vibe that a couple of threads you are participating in, sorta converge ?
Maybe it reflects more our state of mind, than the actual conversations though ?

Am not the right one to ask for those kinds of things.
Am not a believer in any sort of Official™ Stats™, Censuses™, Polls™, Questionnaires™, Election-Results™, etc ...
There is just too much potential value in manipulating and massaging those numbers.
Bet ya that sounds like a cop-out, eh ? LoL
I think that I provide solid sources to back up what I'm saying

Financially solid, yes. Realistically solid, hazy.
