quality of being brave: the ability to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action.
That is what it takes! I just showed Part 2 of The ZEITGEIST Movie to someone close to me and he asked me, "So what can we do", a very courageous moment, but short lived. He then said, "You know what, I think it's best that we all just live out our lives, there is nothing we can do."
I understand it's hard, so I'll leave it at that. As for me, I refuse to sit idle by. I'm not sure what I can do, but I know I can start by sharing what I've seen and see if my peers see this as something serious. Now that I'm aware of the mere possibility of lies, lies everywhere I can begin to recognize if the lies are truly there or not.
Most people believe that the World Trade Center Towers collapsed because of the two airplanes that few into them.
I've seen lots of evidence showing otherwise. Below are the best explanations I've seen. I believe this was an inside job. Before some of you go off accusing me of being a conspiracy theorist, think about how the media has conditioned you to discount any skeptical information that is against what the government says is true by simply saying the words "Conspiracy Theory".
Here are some other great sources (Move your mouse over the thumbnails to see their titles)
In my discussion with my co-workers, they made the common mistake of calling a theory, "just a theory", meaning it has no factual standing. They even had the audacity to say that the "theory of gravity" is just a theory, which is true, it is a theory. LOL. It is a scientific theory, which makes a world of difference.
So for anyone reading this with some skeptisism, please check out Theory on Wikipedia
In science, a theory is a mathematical or logical explanation, or a testable model of the manner of interaction of a set of naturalphenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation. It follows from this that for scientists "theory" and "fact" do not necessarily stand in opposition. For example, it is a fact that an apple dropped on earth has been observed to fall towards the center of the planet, and the theories commonly used to describe and explain this behaviour are Newton's theory of universal gravitation (see also gravitation), and general relativity.
I take a personal interest in understanding the universe I live in. There is much I don't know, but I want to know and that is very important to me. I believe I have a higher than average understanding of cosmology, physics and other scientific bodies of knowledge.
This common misconception of gravity is just a theory, minimizing it's scientific value can best be seen on an interesting article I found written by a proponent of Intelligent Design, Warning: Gravity is "Only a Theory". I can understand how someone with limited knowledge of gravity can be easily persuaded in believing the absurd assertions made in this article.
A quote from Baron d'Holbach, a German French Author/Philosopher most famous for being one of the first self-described atheists in Europe.
If we go back to the beginning we shall find that ignorance and fear created the gods, that fancy, enthusiasm or deceit adorn them, that weakness worships them, that crudity preserves them, and that custom, respect and tyranny support them in order to make the blindness of men serve their own interest.
If the ignorance of nature gave birth to gods, the knowledge of nature is calculated to destroy them.
What a surprise, AT&T is suddenly involved in what could be a class action lawsuit accusing AT&T of illegal monopoly practices with it's latest exclusive venture with Apple's iPhone.
Personally, AT&T is an evil company that conspires with the government breaking any privacy one might hope to have with their telecommunication carrier. (AT&T rewrites rules: Your data isn't yours)
This is no surprise from AT&T, but Apple's involvement really makes me think twice about switching to an Apple computer, an idea I've been entertaining for some time now. Might be a negative move on my part.
I found these very interesting set of articles on Marijuana. I can't believe how backwards or slow the government is in making Marijuana legal.
I can't say I knew for sure from experience, but I'm glad that Marijuana is not like other drugs that causes the brain to produce more Dopamine. Drugs that affect dopamine production produce addiction because the human brain is genetically conditioned to adjust behavior to maximize dopamine production.
