gills with preconceived notions and myopic, self centered views. It never ceases to amaze me the lengths people go to to construct some complicated convoluted world view, rather than just look at things objectively and realize some simple truth (eg., you are just plain fat and unhealthy, or whatever) because that would involve logic or *gasp* self critical analysis!
Reminds me of a great quote I found on another site recently, it's not mine but I took it down anyway because I thought it captures what I am trying to express so succinctly. He's talking about truth as it relates to politics but it's all the same thing, really:
>The most important thing you can have in a politician is honesty but it doesn't work to get elected not really.>Somewhere along the way you are going to have to tell a fat person that poor eating habits and lack of exercise is the leading cause of being fat.>There goes your voters.>People don't want to hear the truth until they experience a world where it's exterminated then they get the point and then a few generations later everyone forgets again and the circle of life repeats itself to infinity and beyond.>We're currently in the part where freedom dies due to inability for the people to hear and focus on the truth and so the truth must die completely and go into extinction mode again for several generations until people cry out for truth again and properly honor it's place in life.>That is if we aren't trapped into a hellish techno prison planet forever locking us in the downswing of the cycle.>On the bright side it's almost football season again!
