>> What ever happened to your mind as the bubble burst? << my mind is as sharp as it ever was, if not sharper. i hardly even follow the stock market that closely yet i can run circles around all the traders on this thread. the bubble bursting was one piece of the puzzle that taught me you can't trust the government and you can't trust the mainstream media to tell you the truth or look out for your best interests. you have to learn to think independently and you learn the most from reading the people which the powerful establishment tries to malign and vilify to the point of making irrelevant. after all, glenn, how am i going to be any smarter than the average bloke if i just follow the herd and read the same propaganda spewed forth by the mainstream media that everyone else reads. you want to know the best way to learn about how america works? read the people the media vilifies and pokes fun at the most. the people that are marginalized by the establishment are victimized for a reason. they threaten the establishment! and if there is one thing i have learned in my short life, it's that the establishment is usually wrong! they were wrong about the stock market and i caught on to that, they were wrong about how to eat, and i caught on to that as well, and they are wrong about most everything else in america. i'm sorry glenn, but you are never going to learn anything by reading the new york times. everyone reads the new york times. do you want to be a sheep or do you want to be out in front leading the sheep? you can't act like the rest of the sheep and expect to be the shepherd. i originally learned that conventional wisdom was often wrong in america, but more recently i have come to learn that more often that not, the conventional wisdom is intentionally deceiving! as usual, i will provide some support for my contention. have you ever been to the jefferson monument? it says on there: "Commerce between master and slave is despotism. Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free". what they manipulators conveniently left off is the following conclusion he made, which reads: "Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them." you see, jefferson believed that after blacks were freed, they should be repatriated or colonized elsewhere. the liberal mainstream establishment conveniently omits that part to serve their agenda. the most common thing people attribute to abraham lincoln is, "he freed the slaves" with the emancipation proclamation. do you know what he said after signing the emancipation proclamamtion? "I can conceive of no greater calamity than the assimilation of the Negro into our social and political life as our equal...We can never attain the ideal union our fathers dreamed, with millions of an alien, inferior race among us, whose assimilation is neither possible nor desirable." --Abraham Lincoln you want another example? practically every time david duke is ever mentioned in an article or news story he is nearly always prominently introduced as "ex-ku klux klan leader", "former klansman", "former klan leader" etc. here is an example from cnn David Duke May Run For Congress Ex-Ku Klux Klan leader says he considering running if Rep. Livingston retires cnn.com now what many americans probably don't realize is that i was watching a bumbling and stumbling old man standing on the floor of the senate addressing the body on c-span just today. ex-kkk member senator robert byrd from west virginia. but you see, he is on the left, so he gets a free pass and the media doesn't give him the glowing introduction "ex-klansman" that david duke gets for being on the right. i wonder if every time senator byrd was mentioned in the media it was prefaced with the fact that he was in the ku klux klan and every time an article was written about him it mentioned the fact that he on multiple occasions used the term (on national tv) "white nigger", i wonder just how long americans would stand for that. how often are white people constantly reminded and made to feel guilty of the evils of black lynchings in the south that took place over about a 50 year period? how often does the media tell you that blacks murder more whites every two years than all the lynchings of blacks in approximately 50 years? blacks murder 3 times as many of their own every year as were lynched by whites in 50 years. (whites were lynched too incidentally).
