Is Democracy nothing more than group-opinion defeating deviance? Why do we live by such a foolish system, when we could instead learn to ascertain? If you smoke cigarettes, yes, you may get cancer. Chances are, if you get cancer, you'll be so fucking old you'll almost be dead anyway, so who fucking cares? Point B, if people keep smoking cigarettes, through evolution, cigarettes will stop causing cancer. Did it occur to anyone, that the group-opinion is often, if not always, entirely and completely wrong? Did it occur to anyone, that the group-opinion, is, by its mechanical nature, innately idiotic?

I can't smoke a joint, but you can kill a million innocent people. Regardless of whether or not you kill them, I should still be able to smoke weed without any potential for legal repercussions. The group-opinion is that weed should be illegal. Well the group is fucking retarded (no offense to actual mental midgets [no offense to actual midgets]).

The group, while probably our greatest strength in nature, in society, is our greatest weakness. Goebbels taught us, to start a war, all you must do is label war opponents traitors (a.k.a. deviants). Anyone familiar with the last several years of the American-Iraq holocaust knows, Republicans used the exact same tactic. And they did so effectively.

Throughout history, i'm sure you can find iteration after iteration of exactly what i'm talking about. The group being a bunch of idiots, forcing their stupidity on the rest. A Republic is no better. It relies on the same structure, but with fewer idiots. When will we learn to put aside opinion and belief? When we will start to make sure things are correct? You do not need confidence if you have certainty.

I've seen more than my share of crazy robots. They know nothing of how their brains actually work. They trust their 'instincts', not realizing nothing is easier to manipulate. They don't even know what instincts are. They think when someone deviates, and it feels painful, the deviant must be evil, because only evil causes harm. They think, when the night scares them, there must a boogey-man under their bed. They instinctually fear the darkness, yet know nothing of where the instinct comes from.

We live in a world where they used to believe witches existed, and to such an extent, they would literally burn them to death. We live in a world, where when Galileo proved the Earth moved around the Sun (and not the other way around), the group (Christianity), considered Galileo the most deviant of deviants, and subsequently tortured him into lying about his findings. We live in a world, where you can kill 1 million innocent people, through an invasion based on obvious fabrication, and still try-out for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad, create a library filled with comic-books and #1 polluter awards, and be treated like just one of the pals, while basking in undeserved fortunes.

People are robots. That's the truth. Until they know what the fuck is actually going on, they will not stop being robots. But I suppose it doesn't matter, because American Idol will be on soon.
