uncalled for and wrong. I defiantly take offence to it.
Would I be a active member of ATS if I was, as you insinuate a sheep? No I wouldn't as sheep have no independent thoughts.
However I chose my words poorly in my pod cast, that may of lead you to believe that history especially true history isn't important to me because
it very much is.
You have given many things
the statue of liberty could of started out as. You could be right but I'm saying no matter how
She started out, its what it represents today that matters. Ask yourself this nrky If a meaning is hidden, who does it affect? It affects nobody
its hidden.
Sometimes things really are as they appear on the outside to be .
I enjoy your pod cast very much and look forward to each and every one. Just remember this not every thing has a hidden meaning. not every thing
has a conspiracy behind it. some things really are to be taken at face value.
My friend, Goebbles would have had a field day if everybody believed in the face value of everything. The art of being a critic and a sceptic, instead
of a believer and a 'sheep', is to look deeper into symbolisms, double speak, and hidden agendas. I am a staunch sceptic, and as such, I look into
EVERYTHING. To accept the norm, is mediochrity, and in an ENLIGHTENED WORLD, is unnaceptable. The KEY FACTOR in post-renaissance (sp?) modernity is
that we use CONSEQUENTIALISM to determine our actions, NOT duty and tradition. Accepting the norm is MENTAL SUICIDE, it is giving up your free will
and ability to be inquisitive.
I accept the fact that you may have taken offense to what I said in my podcasts about sheeple, but in doing so you are taking a subjective standpoint
on the issue, as opposed to being a critic and taking an OBjective, unbiased view. In being sceptical of my podcasts, you must try to understand why I
say the things that I do, and understand where I am coming from. Critique of an opinion is not a personal attack, nor is it meant to offend people. It
is my belief that the easily offendable need to learn how to distance themselves from their emotions and opinions; certainly that is desirable,
yes?
Peace and love, NrKy.
