Are you sorry you KNOW the truth?

[serryjw]

Are there days when you wished you were like 99% of America PRETENDING it will all work out?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

1. No! Because I'm an ideaolouge who wants things my way!

If other Democrats thought like I did, we would control EVERYTHING!

[IronLionZion]

2. ignorance is bliss

it would be nice to be apolitical again. My blood pressure would definitely be lower

[patrice]

3. The trugh is by definition inevitable,

and it WILL set you free, painful though that may be.

[FloridaPat]

4. I have learned more than I really wanted to know about our

government over the last 4 years. It probably wouldn't be so bad if I thought we could fix it with reason and knowledge. But we can't. And it would help if I didn't feel crazy. Bush lies, I see the lie, but the media says it's the truth.

I feel like I'm in a science fiction movie for 4 years now. I wonder if 4 more years will drive me over the real insanity mark.

5. I don't know

I am glad to know the truth, but one needs to keep a bit of perspective as well. Frankly it increases one's effectiveness I think.

6. No.

I'm arrogant beyond belief and I take incredible pride in the fact that I'm a know-it-all.

[seabeyond]

7. f* no on both your questions, eeeew. proud skinner allowed

the exit polls. for that to be issue on election day, and he decided to allow. we needed those, when brokaw say in the afternoon, we need to re do the exit polls. that was the beginning of knowing about the theft. if skinner hadnt allowed us to see those, then we would be in that la la land you talk. i am simply not afraid, or dismiss, shy away from, sheild eyes from truth

[PATRICK]

8. No because the evil is exposed

Before I had a darker picture of human nature, a rosier picture of the majority getting things right,. Now that it is tuned it is wisdom not despair. The weakness of the good, the horribly preventable machinations of the evil.

They don't know what they are doing. Except for the destruction part.

9. The more I know --

The lonelier it seems to get!

[serryjw]

21. I'm with you.......

I just can't go on PRETENDING...while the rest of the world think americans are crazy for re-selecting *. It is very lonely...few know and the other side just dismisses us as CT or Unamerican.Even on DU so many really beleive this will work out. WHY? HE* has keep all his promises and we keep the rest for the next 4 years.Wait until he controls SCOTUS. 40 years of progress will be gone.

10. Where's my Blue Pill?!?

(Matrix reference.)

[DireStrike]

13. The steak... juicy and delicious.

Not like this goddamn goop.

But at least we can fly, among lesser men.

[Nikia]

11. I choose the Truth and free will

We can only really have free will if we know the truth. If given the choice, I will choose the Truth. I am not afraid of the Truth anymore.

[dweller]

12. no

14. s'all a paradox....

.....such is life....my mind is my own and knowing is better than being ignorant...eventhough it's depressing...

15. "The Curse of Clarity"....

A very long time ago a very wise DUer I can not recall started a thread about this subject as well. It was titled the curse of clarity. It was a wonderful thread and it is too bad it is now long lost in DU #1 archives.

I prefer to be in the smaller percentage of people who are aware of the dangerous times we are living in. I hope to use the knowledge to better prepare my children for their future.

[Paradise]

16. Hell, Yes! n/t

[DELUSIONAL]

17. No -- I always opt for the truth -- I the one who has to know

what or who is behind the curtain.

[goddess40]

18. I don't think it would be comfortable to have my head in that area

It would be hard to breath too.

[dirtyduck]

19. it seems like I am always on this side of the equation...

what is it that they say about cynics -- something like they are always right??

[flygal]

20. Sometimes I wish I didn't care so much
