That is true tdl, but imo a lot of it is plain old laziness. My sister is a full grown woman who doesn't work if she can help it and (prefers) govt and private hand out. When I try to talk to her about politics she tells me it upsets her too much. She doesn't think about where that handout originated......I do point that out. Unfortunately she votes for the guy or gal that will provide her the right goodies.

Offer them the red pill. Once awake there is no going back. At times I wish there were. It took me years to peel the layers back. I never promoted what I saw as the truth. I only talked about it a few times. Lo and behold........ My children all have changed their lives and gotten out of debt completely. They have saved. They have pursued knowledge. Not for the sake of greed but for the knowledge. No matter how I could have possibly screwed them up they have navigated themselves around falling into the trap that has been pushed on society. It does not take standing on the soapbox in a public square. Just takes finding someone that will listen. Someone suffering already. Explain why the suffering was forced onto their shoulders and by whom. Name the thieves and perpetrators. Explain how CNBC is a conduit for greed. Tell who owns NBC, CBS and ABC and how they profit from manipulation. Chances are the suffering they feel can be changed to motivated anger and they will add their voices to what is currently becoming a crescendo of anger expressed towards elected officials. The officials only think they are in control because we let them. Let them know it is over. When the numbers are right then the change we want will happen. Till then we must equip our ARMY with knowledge. One at a time. Live in the solution.
