We all want to win the race. Take home the trophy. Buy the bacon. We work hard to get ahead but where do we start from? If only life was like professional sports. A Referee standing by. Coaches and support staff ready to assist. Umpires or Officials always watching objectively to call foul or restart if necessary to make sure the game is played by the rules.
But what are the rules and who makes them? I do not make the rules. Voters do not make the rules. They say there are three branches of government, but I think now there are four when you add big business. When one company can own multiple news, TV and radio stations in a large market area, should you believe everything they say?
Maybe if the general public was given accurate information there would be more trust of business or governments. We go to war for this reason. Tobacco is not addictive. Racial prejudice is justified. The war on drugs is a success. The Earth is flat and the center of the universe. Global warming is a hoax. Maybe if the general public was given accurate information there would be more trust of business or governments. Elvis is alive.
Even as science gets better and clearer pictures and descriptions of the worlds around us, it is increasingly difficult to get unbiased information. It seems everyone has an agenda and if they need to mislead or deceive citizens to reach their goals so be it. Look past the hype. Follow the money. If everyone is shouting the same thing…. go out and see what they don’t want you to hear from other sources. There are three sides to every story…..
