Lies.... Part 3

All great truths began as blasphemies - GBS

7. There is a pill for what ails you. In times past medical treatment was reserved for those with serious health issues. Now the medical industry has mastered the art of cashing in on imaginary health issues. They take benign everyday human frailties and reclassify them as  disease. This has the effect of conditioning unsuspecting consumers to think of themselves as victims in need of medical attention.  The medical industry is no longer in the business of diagnosing and treating. Considering there are 9 million + US kids currently on behavioral meds, It seems the medical industry is in the business of absolving countless people of their parental responsibilities, while at the same time inflicting the youth of today with built-in excuses for failure. There are no more unruly undisciplined kids, just kids who suffer from hyperactive disorder - or whatever they are calling it these days.  Its not just limited to kids either…. feeling depressed?….Can't get a boner?…..shy?…..trouble sleeping?   …. 21st century medicine has a pill for you!!!  Oh well, a people are easier to control when they are drugged.   

8.  Obama is a lock in the 2012 election.  As lies go this one also is a Jedi mind trick as we are being told what to see.  "these are not the droids you're looking for "  translates today as  "No Republican can compete with Obama". The msm has projected an Image of invincibility around Obama for months now.  We have had an entire generation raised on the aphorism "image is everything". In reality however,  Image is nothing, this is a deeds world. Checking Obama's deeds we see: instead of 2 wars we know have 3..... Guantanamo - still open for business..... His tax policy was to extend the Bush tax cuts..... Instead of 1/2 trillion deficit, we now have 1 1/2 trillion.  I  guess we could file Obama's change under "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss".  Toss in the highest unemployment since Carter and a still burning real estate market - and this guy could lose to a cardboard cutout. 

9.  Your vote counts.  It was Stalin who said "It doesn't matter who votes, only who counts the votes".  Here in America, when we vote we mark cards - which get fed into a machine. Is that really voting - Or are you playing a video game? Even if they are not rigging the vote counts, the game itself is still rigged as there is no signifigant difference between D & R. Of all the lies this one amazes me the most because of the sheer number of people taken in by it. Exceptionally bright people truly believe there are significant differences between the 2 major parties.  In reality however, They are simply different breeds of the same parasitic species. Every election cycle we are presented with a choice of D's & R's. Considering both spend like drunken sailors,  they both are in bed with the suits on wall street, and they both grow the size of Government -  not much of a choice, is there? The impetus for this lie is obvious as when people are presented with choices they feel empowered.  I guess it still works even when the choice is only an illusion.
