why is it, a lot of people,
esp. in that over 50 crowd
utilise the "crazy" card
(where did they learn that ???)
kind of like, if it's NOT printed in the newspaper,
or, on TV, it can NOT be the real truth???

ps; if i sent my mum this video,
she would say, i am taunting her,
and, attempting to make her informed choices
look dumb/and, quite silly, & she does NOT appreciate that, so do NOT do that (sometimes, other peoples truths are sad ones) |
Yeah, i know what it's like.
Last year i was trying to tell may parents, but with mitigated results.
They were looking at me like if I was from some lost planet....
That saddens me to know they do themselves more harm than good.
It's numan nature, i guess...
I mean it's surprising that people would never accept to drink a glass of mercury, while at the same time get a flu shot which contains some of it plus other nastythings, because the experts representing the system tells them: 'it's good for you''.
They are from the 'old guard' who believes the system works for them.
We can understand them, most of that generation lived in poverty in their childhood, and after the war, industrialisation bloomed, resulting with higher wages and improved living standards.
They are also trained to think 'inside the box' with religion etc...
It's hard for them to imagine the system works against them, since things 'got better' within it over time.
I decided to stay quiet this year, and let them decide.
salute.
