I'm afraid this is the simple answer to the complex problem causing such massive chaos amongst the human race. Our species has become so superficial across the board; politically, socially, medically, economically, legally, culturally, technically.

As a result of nobody ever looking at the bigger picture or at ramifications of decisions and laws or at repercussions, the species is rushing headlong towards the edge of the cliff, like lemmings.

true and I blame Social Media which has exposed a very pertinent fact.

Print media has been getting away with murder publishing bollox for decades. People have simply switched to the net to soak up the maddest conspiracies and print media is playing catch-up & now publishing rubbish from the net.

It's like a Perfect Storm : toss in the Pedo Panic which has silenced just about every MP & the legal profession.

So fantasy is actually being picked up and believed and it's getting worse.

It's Pedos today but will be something else tomorrow and something else the day after.

Also 9/11 seems to have been the tipping point where world leaders simply acted upon the most ridiculous lies.

Truth has been drowned.
