I 1000% agree... but I'm not going to lie.. The gullibility of the masses always ends up surprising me. Probably says more about me than it does them. I should know better by now.

Well i don't know... It took me 10 years to give up on the average useless eater and another 5 to give up on my friends, the ones that claimed to be anti-system but who lived their lives like it was 1999. Mountains of debt, glued to the TV set, voting in all the elections, all the typical workerBee behavior. When I read these stories about millions falling into poverty it's hard to be moved by their plight because I know it's a direct result of their lifestyle in many cases. In the good times these are the people cutting you off in traffic with their brand new cars and blocking the footpaths at coffee shops. When they end up on the bones of their arse I sort of feel a sense of rightness about it all.

Unfortunately the societies that we live in affect us as well.

Yes indeed, and you can't live in a vacuum.
