]]> The amazing thing presented by digital archives of data is truth. The truth has always existed but conditions often depended... Look closely at how little the various factions will explain about the larger issues. Then do some research for yourself. Start confronting the so-called spokespeople for your causes and ask them hard questions about the big picture. Stop thinking the only people that need changing are those who the spokespeople tell you. More often than not the hidden agendas of people on your own side are worse than the opposition.

But hey, it's easier to just say "no to war" than it is to grasp the incredibly complex issues presented by the bigger picture.

Look closely at what the zealots railing against the west want you to believe. They want religion to guide you. And, unsurprisingly, they all quite readily volunteer themselves as your spiritual leaders. Puh-leeze. More oppression, just hiding behind false piety.

Knowledge is a terrifying thing. A lot of knowledge is a truly wonderful and terrifying thing. Who's more afraid of the big picture? Most of the time it's not you, the little guy. It's the big guys, the 'leaders' that absolutely depend on you abdicating your decisions to them.

Wake up and educate yourselves folks.
