Yeah I know Moore is not the best source of info but he does what he sets out to do and that's to get people to wake up and realize certain things that are going on in the world and he manages to be entertaining while doing that.

Basically what it comes down to with me is that no one in my family would ever believe any of this stuff...I feel very alone in regards to my feelings on the state of the world and also my egalitarian view of other cultures/races/ethnicities etc...

Growing up I could have been an "All-American" kind of guy but I strayed and I always have this feeling like I didn't measure up to what my family wanted me to be.

It seems that because I didn't fulfill my typical white suburban male destiny of being a ladies man and going out and getting drunk every weekend in college etc. and being cool or a "badass" that my family doesn't quite believe in what I'm saying like they used to.

I had a big argument about 9/11 being an inside job with my whole family in the car on a trip and they wouldn't even hear what I had to say. I on the other hand always listen to others' viewpoints and at least consider what they have to say.

My brother and my dad seem to believe in aliens but anything beyond that they would never consider and they still take great satisfaction from being the "alpha male" type thing...whereas I have moved away from that.

It's reached a point where I need to go off on my own but the economy is so bad and I chose a stupid profession in terms of money.

I feel that if I had someone who really believed what I was saying I could be a great leader and inform people of what's really going on and stuff because I have those qualities but without the support of my family it makes it tough for me.
