Welcome!

Congress? You reading this? Yeah, I'm talking to you. I'm a citizen and you're kinda sorta supposed to listen to me. I may not have voted for you, but the least you could do is represent me. Anyone else reading this, tell me what you think. This blog isn't just a blog, its interactive so get involved and speak your mind! Literally of course.

Conspiracy, Plots, and Common Sense

If you feel anyone will be given a perk because of a way they vote, or that something you are told isn't as you are told (such as 9/11, or the Kennedy Assassination), or that you aren't as powerful as a part of the "Elites" all I have to say is wake up.

You are letting yourself achieve less because you think something is impossible. Either your ability to impact the situation or the situation itself is impossible. Well guess what, you can take action. Action is different than violence. While an act of violence is possible, committing that act really just means you are turning into an animal.

Vote for someone else. Stop saying your vote doesn't matter because it does. The whole point is that the more people vote the better the choice that will be made. Even then you aren't limited to just voting. Talk to the people you know, and if they have facts that you don't absorb those facts and compare them to your own. Investigate. Find the truth.

Even if you have to look at the census.gov website and crunch the numbers yourself find the facts. If you have to poll the people at your workplace go ahead and find out if the data in the news is accurate.

Then take the facts and tell as many people about it in as many ways as possible. Be honest, don't make up facts so that you can "silence" opposition. When facts aren't the same find the facts of those facts: what the difference in getting the facts were between yourself and someone else.

If you think this sounds complicated it isn't. It is what I do every day for five minutes to write this blog. Seriously you can do this if you can count apples on a table, take an apple away, and count to a number less than you started with. Eventually when you compare to more and more people your facts will become more and more accurate.

Once you have the facts look at the situation. If someone else has facts which aren't in reach of your own don't discount the other facts. Look at your own, and find a third set of facts. Either repeat your fact finding (such as with a different source of information.)

Now your probably thinking this is a lot, especially to read. Well too bad. If you're going to be worth something intellectually you better start doing this. If you think I'm part of the "plot, payroll, party, police" why are you still reading (you know I speak the truth and so you will continue reading).

So you have the facts. You've proceeded to share your facts with other people with facts. You've got a lot of information. Tell people without facts what your facts are. Discuss, talk to people all along the way. Don't raise your voice. If you have the facts you don't need to fight with people, just talk to them. If they fight just remember Ghandi:

"First they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you.
Then you win."

Quote over, I really like that quote. So after much talking you see the power of decision in the hands of someone who doesn't accept or share the facts. Replace them. Run for office, start your own business, work with those who you've worked with to find the facts and become the ones with the power through our economic or political system. It isn't impossible.

Seriously who would have thought an 18 year old first year college student in Maine would have a successful (and FREE) blog which has allowed him to interview many important people and attend political events which spark my interest.

If your complaint (as so many of the one's I started out with) is about the people in power you have the power of yourself to get near that power and influence it.

Why? Because you are in America. Not because you are human, see, North Koreans are human yet they don't have that power. You do and only in America. So take the power you have, stop complaining, and start working. Go, right now. Something you don't understand but keep harping about? Look it up. Figure it out. Become an expert on your own. Take it from me that a Ph.D. or law degree doesn't make anyone better at connecting the dots or invincible.
