Dave: "It is not so much what you say as how you go about it that rubs people up the wrong way. Reflect on how you talk to people on here and you may have your own profound realisation :-)"

I do. It seems that no matter how or what I've posted, certain people on here, for one reason or another are geared to be confrontational... no matter how much good will and truth you throw out there. I believe that is because there is a predisposed disposition of some sort of political nonsensical toxins they have 'ingested'. When they do listen to the 'news', they don't listen to actually LEARN something, but rather reconfirm some notion that was sold to them, whether that notion is true or not...maybe by a 'friend', or whomever, and instead of incorporating something wider that could be useful to gain a greater perspective.
I could give you an example, but if anyone wants to 'follow up' on it I strongly suggest using another thread, because we don't want or need to divert this thread.
Here is ONE example: One the matter of homosexuality, I, and correctly so, disagreed with it being 'genetic', but DID point out that those who felt they were that way from birth, that it came from the formation of the nervous system, from a woman who had emotional issues with her mate, who impregnated her, and being as they share the same body, while forming, set up the receptors, and synapses to respond differently than those who did not. For that, I was labelled a 'homophobic'...and matter of fact, it was YOU who posted an article, completely supporting my position on that, saying, '..that there were OTHER(than genetic) factors' that cause the homosexual orientation. ...How is THAT homophobic????...........(like I said a forehand, we don't need to debate that here, on this thread..so let's not).

Frankly, I'm tired of political parties (BOTH) using lies and disinformation to get everyone emotionally stirred up, to ram another anti-social agenda, down our throats, while not giving a tinker's damn, whether it's true or not. The same is true with financial issues, taxation, foreign policies, (alleged WMD's as a reason to invade Iraq, with an unfunded war, only to bilk the public with astronomical fees, to service the effort, lying to the public about healthcare, while funneling masses of money to insurance corporations for them to profit, and the list goes on and on, 'alternative fuel sources was another.
Sure, we need a reformed healthcare system, sure, we need alternative fuel sources, but we get lied to and bilked and screwed...but the politicians, in bed with their corporate buddies, don't give a flying fuck. It's not been a history of our political systems representing the will of the people, but rather, FORCING the people to adopt fallacious 'remedies' for things that weren't a problem in the first place...other than solving one bit of corruption, with another bit of corruption!!

When you look objectively at it all, YES, it is time to reflect...reflect on what makes us all susceptible to buying into their horseshit, and really how far that is away, from those moments of PEACE, which can also be found, within us all.

As for me, I have not decided on ANY candidate, nor party to support, so I have no axe to grind about any of them, EXCEPT the ones who are fragrantly LYING through their teeth, and deceiving people, who for the most part, are caring people.

Anyway, post is long enough. We can always turn on our T.V.'s and listen to them lie about everything, till we're all so confused, we don't know who's coming and going.

Meanwhile, we can measure, and define the angst, and compose musical portraits that the inner soul of mankind can can identify with, and benefit from.....and do so, HONESTLY!!
