You're all idiots, and I'm the only one that's right!!!

[Just kidding!!!] Don't ZAP me moderators!!

I think that maximusveritas has a fairly mature take on all of this...its very hard, nearly impossible to find any media source capable of presenting truly objective material.

Its simply human nature to:

1. Put a personal spin on everything based on how we perceive the "truth".

and

2. Look for someone else to DECIDE for us, what the real "truth" is. Otherwise, its as if we'd somehow be responsible...so its much easier to pile on someone elses "truth bandwagon".

The bottom line is: Nearly EVERYONE has THEIR OWN truths - some may find that their truths resemble others, some may not. You kind of have to judge these types of things based on how well the "artist" paints the picture, not for the content - just how well its portrayed. In that sense, MM does a fairly good job I think in painting HIS view of the world. I do not necessarily agree with him, and if you ask my more carnal opinion - I hope he explodes from eating too much - but, of course, that's just MY opinion.
