I know what you mean. On one hand, the extreme Dudge/Brietbart echo style posters need to be ignored. But the problem is that they are so loud and persistant, spreading their reactionary frames and talking points to all corners, like smoke from wildfire. They pull the most vile stuff from their butts and call it "truth" and reduce it to chunks that feed peoples' basic fears, for easy consumption. So I keep engaging with debate. Especially recently, about science vs. myth in this forum. It would be a mistake to say it was "personal" I judge people as individuals by how they treat others, especially those who have less or need a hand. A lot of good people have been sucked in to the plutocratic kleptocrisy of their faux heroes, and one hopes they rediscover the roots of the enlightenment that came about in an age of reason and the SEPARATION of religion from political and state matters, and from scientific inquiry.

Was always curious about the Bronfman's & their flagship the Bank of Montreal ... though never that big on conspiracy theories for think its just a law of the jungle and happens everyday on some level in any timeframe ( just look what we see in the realm of created religions , natural law at work . ) But going to back to Sammy Bronfman & friends one comes up with quite a few conspiracy theories & connected webs when you google "whiskey soaked bronfman family " with ties to Kennedy , Bush , Dick Cheney , Lehman and a host of other players going way back. I always look at it as just another day in paradise and honorable powerful men doing what was honorable for the time . ahem

He will probably just call you a bigot and insist that everything he has ever thought, said, or imagined is now proven! One has to be impressed with someone that can fit the words "Wow" "Pathetic" & "Bigot" all wrapped into 12 word sentences ...and do it so often , lolz Ran into this quote this week which has kept them busy for centuries , the ones that manage to articulate beyond slogans , half remembered verses & 12 word sentences . *"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?* *Then he is not omnipotent.* *Is he able, but not willing?* *Then he is malevolent.* *Is he both able and willing?* *Then whence cometh evil?* *Is he neither able nor willing?* *Then why call him God?"* ~ Epicurus
