But       generating fear of a whole religion, immigrants, etc. is just using people's       imaginations and prejudices for a different kind of gain. If people are so       unaware that they're being manipulated - so bet it...              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~              all suffering and things that need to be       addressed in the world are simply a subjective       viewpoint consensus from those who comfort       zone their priorities of security and survival,       and not everyone is so extremely addicted       to the limited human perspectives that seem       to run the show. when I include everything in       our overworked imaginations, it just means that       in our abstractions as to human endeavor and       experience we are filtering our views through       our security and survival addictions and not       seeing not only the bigger picture but really       only misrepresenting to ourselves even the basic       stricture of human experience.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
