i) Is this news, or related to anthing in particular that is going on and of interest? It looks like an overelaborate rant to me.

Babylon??

Babylon??

It seems sad to me that When someone expresses an opinion, however elaborate, that he should be met with calls of `"Babylon" or told to basically stop going on.

What is the difference between a policemans indiscriminate lashing out at peaceful protesters, and our own verbal beatings we all too often dish-out amongst ourselves?

It seems to me the person had a valid question/thought, to share in the hope of getting some reply. But to meet it with un-founded abuse and out right dismissal can surly not be the answer. I mean shit that what the government are doing to us all the time.

I really think that we need to see the depth of our social conditioning, the true level to which "their" control over us reaches. There is a middle way between Hopelessness and violence. Between blind conformity and insanity, But they do not want us to know that either.

Every time we dismiss someone or something out of hand, or meet it with violence (even mental or verbal violence) we are playing into their hands. We are succumbing to their Philosophy; we are showing just how much like them we really are.
Perhaps this is the real source of much of our anger...the frustrating realisation (however subtle) that we are not so different from that we despise.

To quote Gandhi (badly): Whenever i am dismayed, i remember that through out history Truth and love have always won. At times the odds against you might seem over whelming. But in the end it is Truth and love that remain victorious.
We should remember that, always...

We need to struggle inwardly as well as outwardly if we are truly to overcome all our captors.
