WHO RUNS THE WORLD AND WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW IMMEDIATELY
An interesting look at the world that discusses the Bilderberg Group
Well worth the quick read.

- but are THESE the people who run the world? - i think not.
some people who are powerful choose to create a spectacle ... on the other hand: some will use their power to (try to) remain anonymous
if you want to be spectacular then this is not the way ... if you choose to (try to) be anonymous then this is also not the way ... this is for a bunch of misfits.

I read a fascinating piece by Umberto Eco (Six Walks in the Fictional Woods) about conspiracy theories. He actually traced the antisemitic conspiracy used to fuel genocide by the Nazi party links all the back to some trashy fiction novel the Alexander Dumas ripped off an older unknown fictional author.
This looks to be more of the same.

People KNOW what they should be doing. No end of relgions, philosophers, self-help books in airports -- they ALL say the same things. We hear the same messages day in and day out, read them in stories, see them acted out in front of us in movies.
But then when it comes down to a personal decision WE as individuals have to make -- we argue about it. Look for a more profitable short-term solution. Or, we stick to what is comfortable, or get to scared to do anything, etc., etc., etc.
WE make the world. Every one of us. Everyday. With every single action we take.
Make it a good one.
