I
think one of our basic problems is we quit telling our kids the fairy
tales, as they were written, - no we had to fix them up and make them
better. I remember back in 1980, I bought into the Jupiter Effect, it
was a scare which stated that in 1982 there would be a planetary
alignment of all nine planets, (before Pluto was demoted) and that
the combined gravitational pull was going to disrupt life on earth.
Well
it didn’t happen, and I realized, it was no more than a “Chicken
Little” story. Global Warming is the same story, “Chicken
Little!” Simply a matter of making myself important, by scaring
you.
If
you want to sell something, first you scare your customer, then you
sell him a cure.
I
knew early on that Bill Clinton was no more than “The Emperor’s
New Clothes” and is the case with Obama, he’s running around
naked as a jaybird, and everybody refuses to see.
I
think we need to get back to the basic stories & philosophies so
the people learn to recognize bullshit when it is presented it to
them. Ronald Reagan was very good at using basic stories, like the
“Evil Empire” speech, I know he was referring to Star Wars, but
Star Wars is a basic story of good and evil that was popular at the
time, and the people understood, and responded. No matter how well
you dress up a pig, it’s still a pig! Hahahha!!!! It’s true.
