those who have taken authority as truth,

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM without loopholes is a necessity of every government or else our freedoms will continue to be for sale and the future of mankind will be in the hands of financially motivated multi-national corporations and lobbyists. The media institutions are as much at risk from these groups, and reforms in this area should be addressed, as a free country should not offer outlets for bought propaganda.

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies... if the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency... the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprave the people of their prosperity until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

1743-1826

"I am the most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit.
We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
-Woodrow Wilson
1919

The worlds politicians are now simple middle men/women between corporate interests and their nations peoples. You could call them actors or puppets.

Iraq was an evil regime, but what of all the evil regimes across Africa, or business friendly Arab nations, or business friendly far-East nations.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I could open an atlas and play pin the tail on the evil regime and would have an 80% chance of hitting a one which we ignore for various reasons.

Iraq was a secular state and an enemy of al-Qaeda, yet now it is a haven for terrorism.

How could we possibly rout out foreign Arabs in Iraq from local Iraqi Arabs?
Like looking for Canadians in the United States.

Since the dawn of feudal governments, leaders and their associates have manipulated their people and went to war on false premises to achieve their goals.

Are we so blind that we think that politicians and their backers are any different from the times of Roman Emperors or English kings?

You come across immoral people in all walks of life, are we so deluded as to think that politicians are excluded from immorality?

Read the political philosophy behind many governments and you will find that ideas have not changed for hundreds if not a thousand years.

We have not significantly evolved in over 100,000 years, we are the same beast. And we must rout out those who wish to manipulate and deceive us. Or we will just be another page in the vast history of backwards ideas.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
