I have often wondered this. It seems to me as though the "hippies", Rock n Roll stars, certain scientists, and even those of the health nut bent know something that the rest of the world doesn't. Namely that peace is possible, and that we are standing in our own way.
Why else would the collective world leaders be so afraid of "drugs" that encourage open minded thinking? Why else would the good ol boy types--types like my stepfather--renounce certain music as evil? Heck, why didn't the Church allow people to read the Bible for themselves? (Way back in the day, this was)
Personally, I think it's because, if we were united as human beings, as we ought to be, it would change everything. And the freaks, misfits, rebels and artists of world know this. They know we could change the world. They know there is a whole new realm of knowledge and wisdom out there, if only we could lay our petty differences aside and just love each other as humans first.
And the collective corporate mind is terrified of this way of thinking. Because if enough people wake up, they'll overthrow....well, everything. Corporations and big government would go bye bye.
But then again I'm a conspiracy theorist that believes "the man" is purposefully keeping us blind and stupid and distracted, because greed. We worship the almighty dollar above all things in this world, and to my logic, a cashless society would be the first thing established if a revolution happened. The corporate mind would hate that. The whole world thinking for themselves, holding themselves accountable for their own actions, and being entirely self sufficient? What would Walmart do? Ha.
To prove my point and get off my soapbox, does anyone remember Nickleback's "Revolution"? It's vanished from the air waves around here. Gone. I wonder why....(she said sarcastically)
