Hrm...
I thought about it for a bit. It was like a blanket of greyness that simply hung overhead. No matter which direction I moved it followed. Like a puppy that just won't listen when you tell it to stay. Then it hit me. It was a ghost. Not a ghost of an individual, but instead a spirit of once was and what still can be. It was common sense.
It had this look that could best be described as "what in the hell happened?" Common sense was widespread, but now it was discarded like yesterday's trash. No one questions those who happen to beat their chest the loudest. No one questions the motives of those who try to push the agenda for what they call the "greater good" or the "silent majority".
It is as if we forgot to know how to check for truths and half truths. We forgot how to ask the "who, what, when, where, why, and how".
Here is a simple fact. A half truth is still a lie. Deception is not right regardless of the intent. The majority of us are ignorant and base our reality at face value of others who don't particularly care for a majority of us in the first place.
So what do we do?
Simple. Seek the truth. Put party affiliations and preconceived notions aside and simply seek the truth. Seek it from different sources. Know that a person who protests usually haven't a clue to what they are upset about. This person is a lemming. A sheep. Cattle. Moo-baa-squeak.
Hmm... I must think about this more, get off my ass, then do something. And it has to be good.
I do believe a plot is hatching within my noggin.
