The Zeitgeist documentaries were pretty compelling. I do wish the narrator had a more objective tone of voice; he oozes far too much disdain for stone age belief systems.<br /><br />That those systems are still around, even in a people using cell phones and logging onto the internet, is trouble, but I've seen so many reject stone age beliefs, only to turn to a (very deadly) worship of government, that, frankly, I can't rule out humanity being better off with stone age beliefs, at least until we can find a better opium for the masses.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04528555392898760692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491174673971804494.post-76999407500622715612014-07-14T09:56:24.825-07:002014-07-14T09:56:24.825-07:00Apologies, I thought you were familiar with my stu...Apologies, I thought you were familiar with my stuff.
