EH - 84 : Useful Idiots

Steven Yates at It's Happening Here noted that the main stream media (msm) was talking about 9-11 again. After reading and digging, i posted and decided to cross-post here also. Steven has a similar track record with the tenured university system as Dr. Lenny - buying a bill of goods when young and naive that served good purpose to educate us in how to think, not what to think. That we retain our skepticism and know how to search for truth puts us a cut above the useful idiots in the title.

I tend to think of people like Steven and I as far more useful than idiots, if we can empower people to question and seek answers to questions that satisfy the curiosity presented in the question. But do not believe our answers, unless you can support them in your own current belief system. But do believe me when i say that my zone architecture and Steven's universe have never been correlate with each other - we have not met, discussed nuance or even share religion. But he seeks truth and constructs his truth similar to where i blog mine from.

Very interesting - including the links and the links in the links. It is funny how the spam derivative was discussed - i talked about spam at the zone earlier today. The phish spams are also a scam to be wary of - fake credit card company, bank and financial institute mock-ups that look real and request info.
there may be some means to get around the game. how many new part timers are they bringing in to replace older tenured retirees at the college where you work? our local community college just voted to unionize - why is it that only public employees get effective unions (my work effective meaning recognized, not the assumpted word effective meaning productive).
as a scientist, i've wondered why there are no paulings and sagans on the public scene. when they start pulling the lab guys in the white coats out to discuss 'real' issues, then you know the propaganda value is high, because the level of respect is that necessary to convince the sheeple.
when they ask me to be a spokesperson, i always ask if i can say what i think as spokesman. If they say no, i decline the role immediately. I do not, however, go out and say what i think when i represent the organization that i have taken on the spokesperson role - i look at my responsibility with-in the role and the good of the people i have been chosen to represent. I may change hats, and get to the table wearing a different hat a second time - but the responsibility of being at the table is what brings better unfiltered information.
The PhD in any field is an earned degree based on diligence to self-orient to become a master of gathering information in your field of interest. A PhD in philosophy means a comprehension of the philosophy of creating philosophy. As a Christian, you have made a philosophical choice of outlook for your backdrop to rate other views of thought. As a blogger, you've decided to share them unto the world. i appreciate the significance of a world where we can debate Thoreau and agree that the knowledge base is a creative fiction strewn with fact that somehow eludes our grasp for vast periods of time. But i sense a clearing through the trees that will help us see the forest again.
