The Wrong Things.


The problem with the world is not that most people are bad but that good people are being told all the wrong things.

We are told to think of ourselves, to accumulate money and possessions, to seek fame and fortune, to work harder, to buy, to watch, to follow.....

This is the result of a purely materialistic culture which acclimatizes us to evil.

We are told to fear foreigners, to romanticize the military, to seek harsher penalties, to compete, to cheat, to win.....

We are not told to think of others - at home or in the world.

We are not told to overcome our fears.

We are not told to open our hearts.

We are not told to live and let live.

We are not told to help others.

We are not told to love.

This is the result of mass-media ownership by corporate plutocrats.

And it is the result of evil in our entertainment.

So turn off the T.V., throw away your C.D.s, and unplug your earphones.

We are being brainwashed!

    Human beings have free will... we can make our own decisions. You cannot label ALL media and those who work in it as evil and trying to take over the world.

      I never said it was all media.
      We have the free will to turn it off.

      "So turn off the T.V., throw away your C.D.s, and unplug your earphones"....????
      So are LP's okay? These broad generalisations are not worthy of you.

      Don't patronize me. If you think that there is no evil in our world I'm sorry but you are mistaken.

      Please read my comments again, this is not what I am saying. Point out the bad but don't lump everyone and everything together.

      I said that it was the result of media ownership and that there was evil "in" our entertainment. I did not say our entertainment is all evil

      From your previous post:
      "All these things saturate our music and entertainment".

      I worked in these industries for over 45 years so I think I have some first hand knowledge. To use the word saturate is a gross overstatement and total misrepresentation.
