"Governments don't want a population capable of..." - Quote by George Carlin
Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They've long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.

“I've learned to control everything. I don't get angry at anything. Somebody can do me wrong. That's life. What good is it to get angry?”
