I am retired now, so I have virtually unlimited time to read, review and listen to all sorts of sources from presenters that are attempting to inform me.

Does anyone else feel like almost all print, broadcast and cable media is spewing talking points at best or, worse yet, what often amounts to outright propaganda?

Does it sometimes feel like we are being fed what someone else wants as reality, rather than what is actually REAL?

Does anyone else some times become offended by being offered “fact free nonsense” dressed up as factual news and having the talking head spewing the nonsense seeming to think we should somehow just buy into this and accept what our own brain tells us is just outright silly?

Does anyone else become offended when our Federal government tries to mandate that we WILL all abandon vehicles that are not electric? Or a Federal government that wants to regulate our washing machines, toilet fixtures, shower heads or any of the endless stream of invasions into our lives while trying to tell us that “it really is all for our own good”?

How about a Federal government that wants to destroy any of our energy industries? ALL for our own good – of course?

Am I the only one that realizes that Socialism (or Communism) has failed whenever and where ever it has been tried anywhere in the world? Even those countries that are ostensibly communist, FAIL abysmally until they adopt at least some degree of capitalism.

Anarchy does not work. There are more than a few studies that have demonstrated that anytime a group of intelligent entities (like human beings) is put together, some sort of government (or governing philosophy) develops or chaos ensues. But, do we really need our daily lives micromanaged to the extent we are approaching now?
