I've always resisted being one of those people who constantly talks about how gullible (read, stupid) eveyone else is.
Though there are times when my frustration over the collective gullibility gets the better of me.
But if we accept the hypothesis that most us us are victims of social engineering in the form of the daily propaganda we're bombarded with ... then can you really blame your average citizen for being gullible ?

Unlike you,....I tend to be one of those people who constantly talk about how stupid (read gullible) people have become. To the point,...where I question my own sanity sometimes, because so many of my opinions are so far from center stream in American culture.(or whats left of it) I increasingly see myself as an oddball in society for my views,...yet I'm constantly amazed that more people don't share them.

It's always nice when you find a few folks who still feel the same way you do,...in general. I can work with almost anyone really. I try to see the positive in people rather than dwell on the negative. Of course that's nearly impossible to do with an A--hole,...and they do seem to be multipyling out there. Yes,....I think there's been social engineering going on,....it's been going on for thousands of years. That's largely what makes a culture. I'm Ok with that part. What's going on now appears to be mass delusions. IMHO.
