One of the first steps is to realize that we've been subjected to lies from the cradle. Most folks as far as I can tell, believe most, if not everything, "dey lernt in skool" and "hurd on da tee vee."

The lies we've been told about "kovud" should've caused the vast majority to start questioning the garbage put out for our consumption, but that hasn't happened.

I've been trying to teach people that concept for over half a century but few give a durn. When I considered that G himself got so annoyed by the stupidity and arrogance of his creation that he sent a flood to wipe the slate nearly clean but failed, then he sent his kid to clean up the mess and failed again, I don't think there's a solution any of us could come up with.

I'd like to see folks get rid of stupid ideas, but I doubt that'll ever happen. Must be China's fault. Er sumpin! :)
