"Whatever pill that you took to get there you should continue taking... *grin* "

Ain't no pill. It is being able to see through the bullshit and the way we are being manipulated.

People say the corporations are controlling people to buy what they want them to buy. People have control over the corporations by buying what THEY want to buy. You are tired of manufacturing shifting to China? Don't buy the Chinese stuff.

People need to be taught how to see through the advertizing that manipulates them like in first grade. Buy a happy meal get a toy. Eat froot loops. Wear Barney socks. Then the dumbass parents buy it to keep JR happy.

If people didn't fall for the advertising, it would not work and the advertizing would go away. So you get them in the pocketbook. Lawyers and lobbyists can't work around it. Crooked politicians can't get around it. They would have to provide what we want not what they make us think they want.

Yes, we have perfect control but not the willpower like overeating, smoking, drinking too much and spending more than we make.

I often ask my wife, a teacher Why don't they teach kids about stuff like the credit card trap and how credit card companys lure young people in and try to keep them under their 18%+ fees for everything they buy. She can't answer because they are busy teaching them other, more important stuff so they can pay that 18%.

To me, how to avoid being manipulated is the most basic thing we need to know
