| I finally get the disconnect: Americans NEED to believe they are in control. |
|
I used to believe "fear" drove Americans.
I've changed my mind.
Fear may be the food,...but, CONTROL is the appetite.
CONTROL is what divides us rather than unites us.

| 3. Power, they have the power to control |
|
everything - so they don't have to deal with fear. Yes, that is the driving force behind most Americans. They will believe anything except the reality that they are blessed with the health and mind to control anything at all.
