You've said it all mate. 99% of us are sheep. That's how were brought up and brain-washed by the system to spend our money on things we don't really need and spend time on escapism through TV and 'smart' phones
Why can you learn so much? You've covered politics, medics, personal growth. Wonder if you'd write about writing method, like paragraphs, opening and closing, stuff like that?
I couldn't find a single thing to disagree with. I've been telling people to follow the money for years, but most people are not listening. Many people were outraged over the "slap" but seemed asleep when it requires any thinking that can't be summed up in a sound bite. I see our democracy being destroyed by a minority, mainly Republican politicians, and no one cares. We have allowed minorities to become targets of fear while these politicians hide behind the veil of Christianity, which expressly teaches us to "love your neighbor as your self." No one seems to care about this absurd positioning of hatred behind a religion of love. We are being lied to by a government of mainly old, white men who have been bought and paid for by dark money interests. I don't have any concrete solutions to propose, but if enough of us keep writing about this situation, maybe a few will listen - and this could be the beginning of public awareness.

We can escape though. But only when we learn to think for ourselves Peter.
Couldn’t agree with you more my friend.
Cheers Michael.

Thanks for sharing your in-depth thoughts Edward. I try to stay out of politics. It's a lot of spinning the wheels that gets us nowhere.
