I understand Tara, my entire family fits that bill. The fact that they're all relatively well off probably helps. I think many, many people, after raising kids, working 40-60 hours a week or more, shopping, laundry, cooking, cleaning, all of the things it takes to maintain oneself, they not only don't have the time or energy to access the truth about subjects but they probably would prefer not to even know.

I have a high school friend like that. I stayed with her for 3 months a few years ago. She takes about 10 different medications, most not necessary, eats foods liberally laced with additives, drinks 6-8 cokes a day and her response about everything I very carefully and very gently brought to her attention was, "even if it's all true and it probably is I just don't want to know, Jeffrey." Yeah, she still calls me Jeffrey. She was a great kid in high school, we smoked pot, cut school and dropped acid, took the trains into NYC and walked around but she turned into my Jewish mother.

Not much to work with there. I still email her from time to time. She lays in bed and watches TV. Some people, in fact most people will never get it and then they die.

The video is rather depressing for me to but it brings home the fact that we're very much alone here on 12.160. Most people have little time or inclination for the truth about this country.

Peace

Great vid Jeff! I just can't help but feeling a deep sadness inside after wathching it though. I have a great many relatives that fit the bill of an American Idiot, including my own parents unfortunately! They have chosen to remain ignorant to the reality of tyranny all around us and when I try to talk with them about what is truly happening behind the many curtains of propaganda out there , they look at me as if I just checked into the looney bin. I've given up talking to them about it anymore.

One thing that I've come to know in my life is that you can't make anybody see something that they don't want to already see themselves, just like you can't change anybody that doesn't want to change themselves. It's still really frustrating for me though, especially when it comes to the ones that are nearest and dearest to me!

You are 100% right, only dumb fools would elect Bush, Obama or maybe even so-called war hero McCain.

The guy with the beer (watch the video) is a classic :)

Warning: The end of the video hints (blatantly) at ARMED insurrection to preserve our freedom, our rights. It doesn't hint ANYthing about robbing a liquor store, or murdering your neighbor. It's about FREEDOM!

Think about it....take a pipe bomb....imagine holding it in your hand. It can't light itself until you light it yourself. It's completely safe as long as you control it. Feel any better at resiting the government oppression? I would. I just don't make them yet. I like hugging and kissing my wife too much.

What I wouldn't give for one decent video of an American Citizen successfully lobbing a pipe bomb under that sound emitting AFV (Armored Fighting Vehicle) just before it blows up :) How much easier would it be to get a revolution going with evidence that it was possible...let alone working?
