Read the funny/scary list at galacticconnection/37-lies-americans-tell-avoid-confronting-reality/ Have you noticed the incredible detachment from reality exhibited by the masses these days? The continued operation of modern society, it seems, depends on people making sure they don’t acknowledge reality (or try to deal with it). “Denial” is what keeps every sector of civilization humming along: medicine, finance, government, agriculture and more. The trouble with the denial approach is that eventually the lies collide with reality. Until that day comes, however, happy-go-lucky Americans are merrily enjoying their courtship with self delusion, repeating the following 37 lies to themselves as if they were true: Lie #1) All FDA-approved medications are safe to consume in any combination, because the FDA protects the public. Lie #2) Food prices keep going up because inflation is a natural force that can’t be halted. Lie #3) The mainstream media is telling me the truth when it reports on world events. Lie #4) Chemical food additives are tested for their safety before being widely used across the food supply. Lie #5) We can all pump groundwater out of the ground forever, and it will never run out. Lie #6) We can also pump fossil fuels out of the ground forever, and they will never run out, either. Why worry? Lie #7) If anything bad happens in terms of a national emergency or natural disaster, the government will take care of me. and so on....
