73. Maybe because politics affects every facet of our lives... the elephant in the room

think about how carefully we have been maneuvered into denying this. the more people are put off from understanding politics, the more manageable they are. making it nasty, corrupt, and confusing are all part of the agenda. making it socially unacceptable to talk about is very astute. dividing people over emotional issues another very effective technique.

The lesson of the 60's was "don't let them join together around any issue"; "keep people fragmented over issues of race, religion, and righteousness";.

sadly, it is working.
