text: will the people of the usa never see past their media? never question what they are fed?   while reading a lot of what people post and answer on here, i feel dismayed that so many people are not only "okay" with the status quo, but they harass, label and judge those who question it.  i despise it when people answer something "b/c it's against the law," well that's just fantastic, but it's not a valid answer.  when growing up, did anybody like it when their parents said "b/c i said so." nope!  people, i have found, are reluctant to invite controversy, to debate and to use their minds openly and freely.  it's absolutely fine to agree w/ the establishment, but it's also ok to disagree; the people who make the laws are working for us, don't forget that.  these laws are meant for our benefit, to protect us and maintain a stable society - not to keep us opressed and under their submission (yeah, i know it's hard to believe that sometimes).  so to whom ever reads this and the person who posted this question, i hope that americans start realizing that 1) the media have their own money/power-making agendas, and delivering truth is a biproduct 2) there are two sides to every story 3) criticizing the status quo is not the equivalent of becoming a rebel anarchist...it's simply using the brain that you were born with.
