Cognitive dissonance. They can't accept that they were lied to. It challenges their core belief systems and they just can't face that everything they knows is wrong. They also feel guilt for perhaps pushing others to take this poison so they bare some responsibility to their family and friends for getting them to take it. Then there's the abuse they perpetrated on those of us who tried to tell them the truth.

Oh the stories I could tell you about my two older brothers. We no longer speak. We used to be so very close. Makes my heart hurt every day.

Was that not THE BEST??!!! I watched that when Dr. Malone shared it. Mikki makes some profound points.

Sadly, our brothers refuse to watch, read or listen to ANYTHING my sister and I have sent them. Yet, they send us NOTHING. Hmmmmm - I wonder why! We have given up and laid it at God's feet.

I believe it will reach a critical mass and when it does all the ants will rise together and stamp out the grasshoppers.

We must find a way to mend these rifts. I've been saying this for years. The politicians used to keep us fighting amongst ourselves just to steal from us. Now they've graduated to enslaving us.

I so agree Steve.

So in that cartoon, the bad guys are the grasshoppers, right? (I've never seen the movie).

I've heard it said to look to Hollywood if you want to know the future. So was that message meant for WE THE PEOPLE???
