The coherant path will require a painfull acceptance of reality by many people.

When we see people getting angry when news is delievered that they do not like, when a truth is told that competes with their views, or when they are simply WRONG, then we are looking at people who are going to have to most difficulty adjusting.

Its about insecurity in almost all cases. Big strong men with insecurites are the funniest, being so humiliated by being wrong. This attitude was given to them though, we must be compassionate.
We were all programmed to "have an opinion" more than having a realistic view of the world. And somehow e got the idea that we should defned that opinion to the death. I suspect that opinion was cleverly suggested to them too.... its called brainwashing but you think it is your idea. You will have seen "facts" supporting your opinion from several sources and authorites.

Its tough to know reality anymore, but if you give your opinions an acid test on a regular basis, you will at least discover what is un-real eventually. You will find that anything to do with money is suspect, and when you know that corporations are behind most of the brainwashing the you will be suspicious of all things corporate too. Anything to do with being a good little consumer is supect. Brand layalty is a sure sign, and boy we have all had that at some time or antoher

Acid testing of one's own opinions is a rewarding and enlightening way of life.
