My newly retired step-dad actually just sent me this site. He's just recently started waking up, saying he now, after 30 years of working for the DOD, feels like he's back in kindergarten. It was hard for me in my early twenty's, I can only imagine what he must feel.

Anyways, the page he referred me to was on media and education. I strongly encourage anyone and everyone to at least read that page. It also references the documentary "The Century of the Self" which explains the origin and meaning of "the herd". Very intriguing stuff on how the media has influenced us to confuse needs with desires.

Seems like a good site that pieces together various info in a well-organized manner. Worth checking out and bookmarking.

Thanx for your reply! I only got to scan through the site so far. The guy who sent it to me was a person who was in the military and shocked at alot of the stuff going on. He is actually one of the people who got me to wake up. I am in my late 20's and am glad to wake up to this now, but wish I had sooner.

Now that is an interesting website. I love it, I want to read through all of it, but it lags my computer hardcore with all that animation on one page... I can't even scroll..
