Propaganda

More and more people out there are becoming less enthusiastic and think we are all going to hell. Nowadays, I don’t blame them for feeling this way but there is a lot of depressing information presented to us which may or may not be true. Whenever some show is talking about the current future (meaning the next five years or so) , it usually brings out all the doom and gloom the future holds for us. Some of these predictions may be or become true but I believe some of them are propaganda. For what, I do not know but I think there are a lot of scare tactics out there. For example, one of them is the world ending in 2012. Even if it is going to end in that year, should we constantly be thinking and worrying about it? If we all die, what is the point to be constantly thinking about this ending? I know it is scary but might as well not panic and cause more stress. Anyway, we don’t know for sure the world is going to end in 2012 so what if it doesn’t and one was prepared to die? I know I would feel stupid but that’s just me. Another example is the whole “human-caused” global warming. Yes, the earth is warming up but what is causing it to? Some people think it is caused by humans. But, these people tend to blow the warming rate way out of proportion. Al Gore stated many times in his “An Inconvenient Truth” how the earth is warming at an “incontrollable” rate, yet it can be “controllable.” I think people and politicians, like Al Gore, are being spokespeople for global warming because of three things: they actually believe it, they are doing it for their own glory or by bringing a cause to the table they are favored and get elected. Whatever it is, they surely convinced some of America. Overall, no matter what happens in the future we all should just live our lives and not worry too much because some of these stories may just be stories.
