Modern burning at the stake

I feel like writing today but I'm not sure what about or what to start, so I thought it might be interesting if I were to just go right ahead and start typing and see what would come of it. Now that I've got to the end of that line I still have no idea, I would like to I guess talk more in-depth about my views on some ideas about the world, about conspiracies and media control. Media control is a good place to start.
Once upon a time, picking out one time, people who had their own views of the world that clashed with the views the powers that be would have you think would be burned, countless free thinking women and men were called witches and killed. (I might go in to more reasons behind this later it's an interesting topic when you get in to the reasons why people were called witches)
Today you would think we were beyond such things but you only have to turn on your TV to find out that we are not....we....I hate using that word because I would hate to be tied to that group of people, however I could use 'we' as 'we' are letting it happen.....anyway, yes today when someone says something that is against the norm or radical or different they are then ridiculed in the media.
Have a look at this video...

And now look at this one...


There were worse ones than this, Rosie being ridiculed (Oh yeah and show a clip of her doing something silly to make her out to be someone really crazy huh? yeesh) for her views on 9/11, are we not aloud now to have such views? did anyone come forward to try and debate how she might be wrong? Rosie was prepared to bring forward some proof but was there any against what she said? From what I've seen no one bothered with such things, they went straight for the dunking stool (old method of testing if someone was a witch, if they drowned they were innocent).

I could talk about 9/11 but I wont, there's a great vid here Loose Change I advise people to watch it but to then make their own minds up about such things, we all have our own minds and I'm not telling you want to think, I just want to give you something to think about and decide for yourself.

Happy Chocolate Egg Day

It surprises me how little people know about their own religions, or why they celebrate holidays.
This came up because of a news report I was reading about the Easter Bunny Top News- School Renames Easter Bunny 'Peter Rabbit' - AOL News :
I find a few of the comments rather funny about how it's too Christian for schools and so some are renaming it to Peter Rabbit.
The rabbit or hare at this time of year, as I've always believed it, it actually a pagan symbol, as the rabbit was a pet of the moon goddess and as the egg are seen as fertility symbols as it's around this time of year that you get both eggs, lots of baby bunnies and everything is coming back to life.

The Goddess Eoster and her Hare

I think people forget that Christianity is a religion that wove other ideas of religions in to itself in order to be accepted.
By experience I know that Christians will not accept this at all no matter how much evidence you give them, people can be so defensive about such things and yet they really know very little about what they are defending. Thankfully I also know Christians who are not like this at all which is really refreshing and I enjoy talking to them about different religious views and about the world in general.
It just seems that the political correct among us have louder voices and can dominate the media with nonsense like this. Seriously people should talk to other people and find out if who they think they are protecting really are offended by such things.

Swift Heart Rabbit wishes you a happy chocolate egg day
