(5,198 posts)--it denotes and agenda, which we all actually have. But I think it is important to take a look at what you are ultimately 'tooling' for--is is the good of the all or is it the good of a few?
I think the mistake some people make is that to agree with the disclosure of corruption and the conspiracies of the few and powerful to control and rule over us instead of Representing us-- means that we are worshipping the messengers.
We are SO beyond that line of thinking that it has become actually hard to relate to that old argument. It would be best to keep up--here's a clue:
We are all on in the same boat, the same planet, and we who are disturbed by the loss of liberties and the creeping police state are fighting for YOU--whether we agree with all the petty personality talking points or not. I find it most useful to blame propaganda as a cultural virus, whose aim is to divide us--and leave it at that.
We are adults and should be able to agree to disagree on the small stuff, and unite on the big stuff--that is to do what we think is right and get out of our egotistical need to win in petty ways.
Peace~~Felix
