Im Just Sick and Tired of Being Lied To

Im sick and tired of being lied to. ?''Our culture has came a long way, and it could be much worse.'' who are u referring to in with this comment? because for about a billion people in the world, i dont think things cud be much worst. indeed, our standard of living is phenomenal. but at what costs are we willing to pay, for US to have this way of living. and for me, its not just that theres flouride in the water, and theres heavy metals in our deoderant, but its the fact that we are all being lied to.... ALL THE TIME. how do you feel when things are advertised as healers, but in actuality, these same substances are toxic to such a high percent of the individuals using them? the pharmaceutical industry is one of the largest profit grossing industries to ever be. now, if you owned a business, whats your ultimate goal? to generate the most amount of money possible most would say. people being sick and dying = greater profit. war against a made up enemy ie. the russians ie. the war on terrorism, war on drugs = greater profit. geez people are actually generating millions throwing weed heads in jail. war on drugs = greater profit. hmmmmm, the system we live in, to me seems ruled by the few elite, controlling the masses through media and television, with hidden agendas of total dominance and financial immortality. again, im just sick and tired of being lied to.
