Welcome to Baby Boomer and Millennials World...

Some decades ago, when I was somewhere in my mid-40s, my manager remarked to me that my attitude and customer support/service styles were far above those of my 'peers.'

He asked me for advice (!) on 'how to collect more people like me into his department.'

I pondered that question over the weekend with his agreement for the delay and on Monday came in and delivered my answer:''

"Don't hire anyone under 40,"

He laughed, I laughed, and life pretty much went on as before.

Thank You! . this site looks impressive! -- j

me too

Haha, yes, on Sibel and James. I love them for their minds!

you have a bit of a crush...admit it kitty

Yes! Sibel Edmonds is so bright and passionate about freedom, I love her website and videos, too.

I enjoy his podcasts. big fan of Boilingfrogs

I like The Corbett Report. James Corbett calls his style of reporting "open source news," which means he always provides a long list of sources for the facts he is reporting, below the video or podcast. He encourages viewers to check the sources for themselves, and never just take his word for anything. https://www.corbettreport.com/

Excellent quote. +1

Montesquieu, 1748
"The tyranny of a prince is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy."

BTW - I'd strongly recommend reading the book “Tragedy and Hope” by Carroll Quigley mentioned in the article.

Maybe way further.
Those kids in Watter's World do not expose themselves to the data.
They're way too deep into useless diversions.

How does that go, again?
Data=>Information=>Knowledge=>Wisdom?

Information Age = two degrees of separation away from the goal. We've got a ways to go...

Sad but true.

I have a friend who says that if voting could actually change anything, it would be illegal.

Do we seek legislation to control this, or our own means to fight it?

Drudge Report is the most popular Internet news aggregator. Talk radio is dominated by conservatives. I don't know which viewpoint is most popular on YouTube, but I expect most people getting their news from this source select viewpoints that are already compatible with their own.

I don't blame the folks, especially the young folks, for their voting tendencies. I do blame their teachers, particularly for their first vote for Obama.
But I must say I am tempted to declare that a second vote for Obama was "not merely mistaken, but evil". (Care to guess where in
Rand's corpus these words came from?)

And this is called the Information Age.
How ironic.

We do not have a thinking population, that is exactly right and you can not make them think because then they would have to accept that of lot of what they want they should not have.

Most of us don not think. We think we think. Mostly, we follow along.

Thinking would require identifying a problem to solve or a goal to reach. As a nation, we can't even put an honest name to many of the problems we face, let alone begin thinking of solutions.

So, we watch the networks or our favorite news outlets, figure out what it means to us, and get ready to do it again tomorrow, if we still have a job to go to.

What they do in Washington has little to do with the center of the country, except on April 15, and election day. And, it's questionable if elections really matter all that much any more since the mainstream of both parties seem to want the same thing. Just as the Muslim terrorists and the peace loving practitioners of Islam both want Sharia, the Democrat and Republican mainstreams seem bent on a larger, more helpful government.

Government has whipped the free press with the all mighty dollar. When it is just better to be "Politically Correct" than to expose the facts we have lost the people's check on the government.

isn't that tragic.
