Now I'm pissed that i actually do 2 and 8.

"Speak Truth to Power" is one of those tired, cliched phrases beloved of lefties, libertarians and conspiracy theorists everywhere.  They love it, because it aggrandizes their beliefs ("truth") and their role ("plucky outsider telling "Power" how it is").

It was actually coined by Quakers, who I can somewhat respect, Richard Nixon aside, since they have a long history of principled pacifism, opposition to slavery and similar.

The irony of course being, that Power defines Truth.

That's true, regardless of who's in Power.

My diabetic sister might disagree with at least one of those.  But then again, you know what they say about diabetics...

POLITICAL DARWINISM.

This is a group that has found a way to make themselves powerless without making themselves invisible.  Which seems to me to be a fatal mutation.

Reading 1-3, I was like "ok, this isn't so bad" - even if 3 is nearly impossible, steps toward it are at least fine enough. Then 4 :roll: Not that I'm for mutilating children, but it's obvious why that's there.

And I like potted up as much as the next guy, and am all for research into the benefits of medical marijuana, but I really can't stand the "ALL doctors and prescriptions are evil! Weed cures all!"

In the same way that I have an interest in the "paranormal" and what have you, but then people are like "OH, so you must like that Ghost Hunters show" and I want to stab myself in the eye
There's no sun shine coming through her ass, if you are sure of your penis.

Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing next to you, may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution.

If there is no order in your sexual life it may be difficult to stay with a whole skin.

THIS IS HOW THEY FUCK YOU.

Everything out of the ordinary is blown so far out of proportion that it's cringetastic to look at.  Everything weird is made stupid.  Every question about modern medicine or corporate practices is turned into some hippie raving.  Concerns about Monsanto, etc, are morphed into some weird Terrence-McKenna-more-stoned-than-usual "FARM YE OLDE EARTH" assbaggery.

So soon, you stop questioning anything, because a false dichotomy has been established, and THE alternative to the status quo is dumb fucking flower child bullshit.  It occurs to me that I have fallen for this trap myself.

I was pretty sure that this is a fairly clever troll.  Then I thought about Poe, and had a sad.

What if you raise your own chickens and then use their eggs to produce your own vaccines? No big-pharma, no evil, no problem...right?

Which reminds me, Hey Nigel, when you're flush with eggs again...

Sadly, I only have 4 hens left and only 2 of them seem to be laying, so I have to make the decision whether to obtain more chickens or whether to call it good and let them slowly fade away.

The part about not vaccinating or medicating kids really gets to me. These are the people who just let their kids die of preventable/curable diseases and then pretend it wasn't their fault.
