Here is post #52 Timmahh...where is the problem?
The bold is a quote I was answering...the marron is my reply...please show my evil....
There are a lot of great ideas on how to reform our government but until we all stand together it will never happen and they are very good at keeping us disconnected, entertained, & arguing among ourselves.
Arguing is good..it's where ideas come from. Entertained is good...it's why Rome built the Colosseum,(even back then government understood the need for the people to have something to do) and disconnected is a choice..not something the government does.
Let me break down my reply..before timmahh does it for me.
I said Arguing is good...I did NOT say arguing AMONG OURSELVES is good as timmah will infer.
I stand by my statement..arguing/debate IS good. it is how ideas are shared, sides considered, and plans to move forward are created.
Entertained is good....well, it is. Who like being bored...Fire works, National Holidays, Sports....all leadership of any kind..has always understood that people need "fun"... my reference to Rome was simply that they understood that concept. The roman rule (and I'm not saying that "rome" is how we should be ruled, as timmah will infer) understood that a large population needs things to do and the ability to relax. ..rome avoided a lot of un rest by providing baths, feasts, games, and even hookers...free of charge to Citizens....
And my last statement is to de fuse the anti government intent of the OP...his theory is that the government keeps us disconnected. No, they don't..Disconnected is a choice. The government allows you to connect any way you wish...If YOU choose to become disconnected, and not be involved with issues, that's YOUR choice...not being forced to do it.
