Those who don't know to be enraged aren't. Don't call them stupid because they don't know what you know, and may not agree with your way of seeing things.

Put the blame where it belongs. It isn't our species as a whole that is "retarded". It is a select few who have worked tirelessly to bring the masses to this point in time. We have been used, abused, deceived, trained instead of educated, fleeced, scammed, and our basic human rights trampled upon.
And it has all been done by a select group of people with the knowledge, the power, the resources, and the technology to pull it off.
You are upset and angry because you know enough to be upset and angry. Thank those who came before you and shared what they learned. Hopefully you will do the same.

It takes time to awaken the masses. Just like it took time to put them to sleep.edit on 4/12/2012 by Klassified because: (no reason given)

I wish that were true but it's not.
I've been at this for years, the majority either don't want to know too much, or after they know, they don't care enough to change anything or help anyone. The majority.... not everyone. Maybe you should get out more and see for yourself. To me, showing someone proof the food they eat and the water they drink is toxic should wake them up at least enough to not continue doing it.... wrong! They keep doing it anyway. That is "retarded", a broken brain, a pathetic lost cause.
I do not mean this in a condescending manner, but did you ever think it might be the way you are "helping" that is the issue. I've awakened an awful lot of people over the years, but it is my job. I never rant, never call people stupid, never push them further then they can go. It is possible you overwhelm people, jump to too many topics at one time and might not be taking into account where they are at - never try to wake up a person who is SUPPOSED to be asleep - yes many are supposed to be asleep.

Albert Einstein said

The answer is because in science, a great deal of attention is done in order to be as close as possible to reality, to what is really going on, to the parameters of reality, while in our social activities we base our behaviors on ideologies more or less close to reality. That's called cultural lag.
