Who are you mad at really?

[acptulsa]

When we finally make them see how they've been brainwashed, they're going to be mad. And the powers that be try every trick in the book (I say try, not will try, as they're already at it) to misdirect that rage at us. So, we had better be already busy making sure that rage is directed the right direction. And we had better be both vigilant and good.

'The responsibility of the government is to provide the environment which is proper to allow us to thrive, for us to work hard and have the incentive.'--Ron Paul

People can need without knowing what they need. People can be frustrated without knowing what the cause of that frustration is. I say just knowing what causes a person's frustration is nine-tenths of the battle. If we can look at a person who is ranting about this or that, and say, I think what you're wanting and not getting is opportunity, then I think you have a receptive audience. Perhaps 'opportunity' isn't the correct word for everyone, but these days I'll just bet it will work for most.

In any case...

'A mind is like a parachute--it doesn't work unless it's open.'--Will Rogers

Politicians make people angry because an angry mind is a closed mind, and they're afraid that if they don't make people angry then people like us will get in under their defenses. Here's hoping we can get in under their defenses anyway.

deep, acptulsa. profound. i've never thought of it this way.

i believe that an angry person is easier to manipulate because an angry person tends to not reason.

That's why wars are so easy to start.
