25. I printed your essay and gave it to my mother to read...
she became depressed thinking that this country is toast...that we can't get the Truth out. But think back, for example, to the Suffragette movement...there were no TVs, no cell phones, yet women organized and marched and fought and kept fighting for years until they got the VOTE.

I think most people today are afraid...so they watch 'American Idol' so they don't have to think. Cuz if one thinks, the fear starts to awaken. Same with shopping/consumerism....it keeps one from thinking and seeing the Truth. Yet when I talk to people and speak a bit of the Truth, they seem relieved and maybe even happy to hear it. As if they were afraid to say 'it' yet I validated their thoughts.

OTOH, there are folks out there with their heads so far up their asses, they're ready to turn inside out. I stay away from them.

Sure you're not hannah? lol.
