(9,154 posts)are vast and perpetrated by highly educated people. These are generally more intelligent people, with college degrees, many of whom have dedicated their lives to squeezing nickels out of carrots, and they have the ability to manipulate less intelligent people into believing that they're actually doing good. The situation in Kansas shows something else, the ability of an entire set of state actors to make one person's life miserable, while simultaneously asserting the opposite. Case in point is the school acting as snitch. Now, multiply that institutionalism out by hundreds of millions of people. That's the world we're living in. Deception coming from everywhere, wild animals with college degrees, manipulating that this is a better world. It is not.
The natural world was nowhere near as deceptive. When a wild animal attacked, everyone knew it was a danger.
Look at your first post to me in this thread. Did you at all concentrate on the benefits or the problems associated with humans inability to produce their own Vitamin C, or how animals that have that condition are subjected to greater vascular problems? No, you did not. Instead of concentrating on the context of the OP and how my post related to it, instead you chose to make an attack. That was not a good or constructive use of your brain or intelligence. It sowed division, mistrust and misery. Yet in the same breath, you state this is a better world than ever. That was both deceptive and manipulative.
