Charters Respond to of 116836 People's lack of inclination to give off heat energy by doing useful work is because they believe in the magic of infinite potential energy or freefall in an infinite gravitational well, otherwise seen as the government cornucopia or economic freefall. This is evinced by their ultimate aspiration, which is to get a government job with their uncle Frank and their speech, which is pepper sprayed with the 3rd person pronouns "them " or they ". In their lexicon "they " build all the computers, airplanes, make new silicon chips, write the books, cure diseases and control interest rates. "They " have figured out why you don't compete with MacDonalds, Microsoft, or Xerox. (How DO you get into management with those companies?) "They " generally wear white lab coats and work in mysterious government buildings, have PhD's and drive BMW's. Nobody ever went to school with any of "them " or knows any of "those people " in the first person. This leads me to believe a long nagging suspicion, that appears to the only logical conclusion that one can come to after putting together this chain of seemingly unconnected but synergistically incongruous phenonomena. This is that we are actually run by a group of aliens, who have imitated human beings look from afar but are afraid to be seen up close. They all have foreign sounding names and long earlobes. If you zeroed in on "Their" press conferences with a Kirlian camera you would see that "they " have no aura or any physical substance at all. "They " are a holographic projection of a human. A synthesizer sits on a desk behind this TV image, imitating human speech. (This explains lapses in George Bush's English syntax, a sort that I have never seen in even the dullest grade 4 graduate - he's a space trainee.) A light beam operates the apparatus emanating from a space craft parked in orbit where a race of swamp slugs has us in a narcotized trance from the power of "their " hypnotic suggestion. (I know what you are going to say, "LGM from Tau Ceti". But it is necessarily the only way to explain advances in human science where " everyone you talk to says, "They " already do/know/have that or "it's been tried", when you propose any patent, idea or business. Have you noticed that the only places that are able to resist the US suggestion that "they" are the font of all wisdom and good are places where TV is outlawed? ... I wonder.
