Remember the commercials on teevee for some sort of medicine, or soap....there's the cartoon of a man's head with a hammer banging away in his brain..that's the headache...see? A pill enters the cartoon mouth and turns to rays, radiating up to the brain where the hammer is pounding out a headache...sooon, the hammer slows down, stops and then disapperas and THEN you see a real person...smiling like he hasn't a care in the world.

The viewer must use up great gobs of FAITH, believing in this silly "proof"...but it works...else billions wouldn't be spent on advertising.

Then you have the diagrams explaing the Iraq war....you see "bad guys" as little markers on a cartoon map....or an aerial view of a desert town with arrows pointing to something you can't make out...there's a caption too such as "Nuclear Plant"...or "War Making Stuff". The you see cartoon missles being sent over the map...they land on the targets and whoosh...the targets and their menace is gone...switch to real people smiling...no headaches and NO "threats". This too takes great gobs of faith...faith in cartoons, faith in your government who drew them for you etc.

Then there's the religion...someone tells you a fantastic tale and since you're five years old nd don't even know what peanut butter is, you believe...and why do you believe? because someone shows you a book...and there are words on the pages TELLING you. And you need more of those great big gobs of faith to buy it.

And so it goes...the religion teaches you to have faith in absurdities...the commercials take it a step further but along the same lines...and then the war comes and by now you're conditioned to think of cartoons as the real thing...to believe in captions and words of "inspiration".

You have no evidence for the truth of any of it and don't feel you need any...because you buy the aspirin...you agree to go to war...and you live your life believing you'll go to a cloud someday...and you give me the headache.

The SAME people are back with MORE maps...this time of Iran..and again they've got those magic aerial cartoons showing desert...and there, sure as shit, are MORE markers with captions that read..."Nuclear Plant"...."Gas Factory"...."Aluminum Tubes"...and once again, you swallow it on FAITH...becaue you believe the car commercial and you buy the nonsense in the bible..any bible...that tells you that five out of work fisherman, 2000, years ago, told the TRUTH...and you KNOW men who fish never lie!!!
