Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Seems that you only like to hear/read the things you like to hear/read, and you are too quick to knock contra-opinions peremptorily and/or jump to conclusions.
For your info, I am a world traveller --- a perpetual tourist or PT.
Whilst apparently professing to be a KIA, you are at the same time very defensive. How very odd!
While you insist on proofs, you don't care to provide any to debunk what you don't agree with. Yet you tend to be dismissive, and so very didactic and dogmatic in your views as if you alone know all the answers and know lots MORE than others. I suppose you have never been acquainted with reasonable doubts, reasonable conclusions and self-evident truths, eh?
BTW, "There's often more than what meets the eye" is just a general expression meaning that things often are not really what they appear to be, that there might be subtle or deliberately hidden stuff that need to be exposed and ferreted out to reveal the truth. Verily, there is usually more than one way to interpret any set of observations of a particular thing/issue.
To illustrate: For quite some time, lots of folks accepted the Bushies' line that there were WMDs in Iraq and therefore Saddam had to be removed from power. Now we know that the Bushies peddled this line in order to mobilise support for war against Iraq and regime change. And Paul O'Neill, former Secretary of the Treasury has confirmed that Bush and his gang(sters) had in fact been wanting to invade Iraq from Day 1 long before 9/11. Yet for years, Bush insisted that 9/11 was an unprovoked attack and there was no justification for it. Subsequent findings, however, have shown America's hands are not entirely clean on this matter. To me, Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11", for the time being at least, gives a fair exposé , and tellingly, it still has not yet been debunked; it has, instead, got a lot of folks like you embarrassed and set into denial mode! Yeah! verily, there's more than what meets the eye!
Oh, well: "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." Oh, and by the way, truth (or even a semblance of it) always hurts. But truth, like surgery which hurts like gangbusters, also often heals. edax rerum, no doubt, will help greatly in this regard. |
