As always an excellent, true and well thought out post. This only scratches the surface of it though. The reason? In the United States, it is rare that a device is made here. All if our information goes through a filter, various surveillance programs here and in other countries, most notably those who manufacture the electronic equipment.

In addition, the spread of total bullshit for news occurs, where information can be taken, manipulated and ground out by the media to tell us what we are and should be as human beings, all for lust to lure advertising dollars or outright population control of thought. One specific example is global warming. There are vast events witnessed in my life that have proved the whole thing is bull, global warming. Yet, a revelation by my alma mater detailed how 582 and eight-two separate degrees were now taught and awarded by the faculty.

That people even believe any if this is absurd and caused by the dissemination of the thought that our weather prediction ability is profound and all knowing, when for example, it rained here five days in a row and on each day they predicted no rain. The ability to predict five days ahead is poor and yet fifty or a hundred years in advance is somehow certain?

Yep, I voted you up because I suspect like me, you grew up when none of this instant communication existed and remember when life in America was one hundred percent family oriented and faith oriented for so vast a number of the population, that most everyone also had a life long trade or skill they expected to last them their lives, instead of to next week.
