A Mushrooms Life!

I keep trying to think of an analogy that paints a picture of the thoughts that have been on my mind over the weekend.

What comes to mind is an old cartoon I remember.

Einstein is walking out of a room and closing the door behind him. What you can see as he closes the door behind him is a large room with wall to wall banks of super computers.
In his hands he is carrying a simple wooden box with a light bulb and an on off switch.
His assistant is questioning what he has in his hands and why he is closing off the room with the rows of computers. The assistant is saying, ''What about those''? As he points to the room full of computers.
Einstein replies, ''Yes... I know, but we will start them with this''. Holding up the light bulb box.

That is how I feel about the economy and the election. I feel like we are only getting a very small insignificant part of the story... and there is so much more we should know and need to know, but no one is telling.

I don't like to think of myself as one who subscribes to conspiracy theories… adhering to radical left or right wing tales of suspicion and terror. But, when I see the finances of the world crashing around me and every one continuing to party like it is 1999, I wonder.
When I can easily find that Obama has obvious friendships and financial and political ties to radical extremists and the media isn't talking about it I wonder.
When I find out our country has been under Marshall Law since the passage of the bailout and no one in the media is talking about it I wonder!
When the media has become part of the political machine and its subterfuge instead of a reliable source of information I wonder...

When so much of everything I see in the world around seems like it is taken right out of the books of Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation I wonder...

And I am wondering if it isn't time to stop wondering and wake up. I don't know what waking up means or what we can do about it if we do, but I am tired of being a mushroom living in the dark and being fed Bull-crap!

P.S If you are wondering about the Marshall Law thing click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbheoKVx0hc

The clip is form Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) speaking on the floor. His statement comes in @ 1 minute and 19 seconds into the clip clarifying the fact that the speaker of the house broke the news to the Senate that the country was under Marshall Law on the night before the vote for the bailout.
