[quote:Esoteric Morgan:MV8yMTc0MTU2XzM2NzY1MDI4X0IyQjI3RjY4] pinned! Well, upon seeing your thread title, I figured I was [i]not[/i] going to be so presumptuous as to rank myself 'according' to my own perceptions of myself'; then I read the body of your comment: [i]"Think about 100 people in your life. Parents, friends, co-workers, extended family, teachers, stc. Rank yourself" [/i] It has to be [i]90%[/i]. I do not know ONE person who makes any effort to find out the why's and how's of the world and systems they 'live' in. Everyone I know seems to 'just be' content with going about their own business. A surprising number of them NEVER read newspapers, or even watch news broadcasts, of any kind. [i]"What do you mean 'stop eating seafood?' Fukushima? What's that? Corexit? What?" "GMO's?" "You better stop going to that website. Everyone KNOWS that flouride is essential to good dental health! Oh, man!" "Where do you get this stuff? The BIBLE specifically states that..." "Sigh Op? Wha?"[/i] These are just milder examples. Those that [i]DO[/i] have some interest in "being well informed" tend to start bitching and moaning when the news outlets they watch tell them it's time to bitch and moan. It is akin to a 'pavlov's dog' response. [i]They listen = they believe.[/i] They would [i]NEVER[/i] consider trying to research the possibility that what they are hearing could be some degree of propaganda, or, guided acceptance. This goes for ANY and ALL news outlets. There's no thought to 'read between the lines.' No effort to dig deeper. ==== So, based upon your parameters...[i]at least [/i]90% GLP rules!!! :5a: p.s.: I'm having trouble posting at the moment. site access problems again! [/quote]
