I was checking this dude out too because the entire thing smacked of sensational, irresponsible, conspiratorial nonsense. There is probably a certain amount of factual information in those presentations but how pertinent is it now .. and how much spin with intent to deceive viewers and support a position has been put on any of the potentially accurate but harmless facts? It is easy to believe all we hear about big business, BigPharm and the US Gummit because we are justifiably suspicious of their actions and we want to believe anything negative about them .. but there must be ... or should be .. a limit to how much logic we are willing to subordinate for the sake of emotion. Even if one totally distrusts all government agencies .. those videos are not close hold and there are obviously thousands of truth seekers and concerned activists out and about who will check the validity of same .. and if there is validity .. we will hear about it from credible sources .. that is a given. Those who do not believe this statement might believe that activists for this or that cause can be silenced or bought off. Folks who are into conspiracies and see a Boogy Bear behind every tree will believe most anything even though such acceptance can make them more unhappy than they might be now. > Back to studying for finals, > Melissa Bell Good show and good luck on the finals .. and y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch .. http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
