You’re right. The battle is not to change the minds or ways of the corporate crooks and bent politicians, that’s just not going to happen in the current environment. What’s required is to try and bring a wider awareness to the general public about the types of “people” who they (allegedly) choose to lead them. Too many people simply take the word of the highly organised mainstream media machine as fact. Yes, maybe there’s a little scepticism especially following on from the blatant demonstrations of criminality such as Iraq, the great banking swindle and, here in the UK, the expenses scandal. But when you talk to many people they still seem to think the state exists to serve them. Until this myth is exposed we remain distant from even the prospect of progress. It’s depressing but imagine how much worse it would be if the minority who are striving for constructive change gave up in the face of unfavourable odds. The few who can be bothered must keep plugging away, I suppose.

Thanks for your comments.

What I find scary [in particular] is the fact that after millenniums of ‘civil’ progress so many are still blind to the truth staring them in the face. If ordinary men [women] like you and I knew from the onset this was all utter BS and a pack of lies, don’t tell me ‘our’ so-called ‘intelligence agencies’ [the biggest oxymoron to-date] were unaware of the ‘crappiness’ of the ‘crapola’ they were dishing out. Bush, Blair and their henchmen are war criminals as was clearly outlined during the Nuremberg trials and any treaty signed ever after. These men should be sitting side by side with those we dare drag to the Hague.

Pure whitewash.

Nothing new, nothing unexpected.
