some thoughts on how the real world works

Since this may be news to some, let's spell it out a little ...

If you want to really understand what happens in this world, and have some foresight about what is likely to happen next, all you need to do is get inside the mind of the other.

Rule number one of the powerful is control the opposition (create it if necessary). Infiltrate it, guide it in the wrong direction, make it look bad, make it forget it's best case, or fail at critical moments to do the smart thing, etc.

I laugh when fingers point at some newbie who says that his e-cig made him cough or whatever. The powerful are far far smarter than that. Be aware, think ahead, join together but don't be led.

That's some good advice. However, like anything else that hit the media... or any mass group of people, there thends to be a bit of sensationalizing. That being said, in a rally, it's impossible to yell over the crowd but easier to incite a riot by whispering into people's ears...
