Re: Zeitgeist Adddendum - A Critical Analysis (for the sake of balance)
The best post here (so far), IMO, is the one by Reveling John. He dares to question...
Well, let's say... I am always so stunned to see how deep to the bone most americans are indoctrinated... for instance with the idea that nothing is good except capitalism... when they talk about socialism, communism and anything resembling, it's as if they are talking about the devil, no worse... full of hate.
During and after 9-11, our journalists looked up, as much americans as possible, who were visiting europe, or were working here, just to get their view, their opinion, their feelings on what had happened... A remark a lot of them made during the interviews, was "you're so well informed here". With this they meant, our media are not so one-sided as in the US. Our media was looking at things from different angles. We would get more information than they would in the US, etc.
This "one-sidedness" harms the american people. (And I am sad to say, but europe moves in the same direction.) Internet could break it open, give american more possibilities, more views, more angles. If only they would be prepared to put down their colored spectacles and really see what's out there.
Whatever... We all, americans, european, asians... we all will have to change our ways. None of us is right. If you look at the results, you have to see that. And I hope ASAP.
If we are living in some Endtime period, we will have made this end ourselves.
If you agree or don't agree with Zeitgeist I & II ... it doesn't matter. If only it could make you think, make you wiser in some way...
