Okay I saw the Gorrila as it walked to the middle pounded it's chest then walked off. I did not see anything tricky about this video. Also they do not tell you how many times the white actually passed the ball. I have my count, they told me it was close enough, what does that mean? That I was right? Strange!

I will send my child to Public school for 2 years and Private school for 2 years when they are mentally ready to get a open minded view of the insanity that infests Humanity. I will then homeschool them for another 4 years than off to Waldorf school they go! I want my child to have a broad understanding of this world we live in. Teach that all things exist by varying degrees of opposites and that one should seek to adapt and evolve thier level of understaning at all times. Never become complacent and seek evoloution in all things, Mentally, Physically and most importantly Spiritually...

"All things have fears, but the brave put down those fears and go forth, somtimes to DEATH, but always to VICTORY!"

Madison Avenue has been using professional psychologists for decades now to trick us. I've been wondering how in the world peope will demand their doctors give them a certain drug after seeing a TV ad and hearing all the dreadful, deadly side effects of the drug they're pushing. I think it's because we've been trained to accept the "bottom line" of these ads without using our own mental powers to arrive at a solution. Like when in a checkout, the clerk will say: "$1.50, $2.25 and $4.00, that'll be $7.75" and you pay it without thinking. They GAVE you the BOTTOM LINE! In these ads, they tell you the good news and then the bad news and then they TELL YOU what decision to come to and what action to take. It's all very insidious. I can think of no other explination to why people would knowingly take these deadly drugs just to get rid of toe nail fungus.

I absolutely LOVE propaganda and mind control stuff. Ever really dig into it? Really good research topic. I am going to encourage my kids to do research papers on it throughout their schooling process (Church Schools and/or Montessori - NEVER government schools). People are really really unaware of how important school is in brainwa...I mean traini...er, educating the youth. Think about it, it is 7 hours of education, non-stop, 5 days a week, PLUS homework. Math is fairly safe, but watch out on the others. Research it. Good/scary stuff. Homeschool if you can. If you must abuse your children with the government run schools, really take the time to dig into what they are learning. This is more than just what is in the books. Your actions are trained as well. What prison like practices they are subjected to? The bell rings every 50 minutes, you have 5 minutes to get to the next class, sit like a statue while in class, speak only when directly called on, demerits for slight transgressions (my old 7th-8th grade schools has switched to this), walk on the red line only in the hallways - stepping out is cause for discipline (middle school my mother teaches in does this), and other penal practices. Yes, we need some order in school, but the level of control that is being exerted is ridiculous. Oh, let's not forget cameras in the bathrooms, oh yes that is needed as well. Just lookup that story. On and on and on. Needless to say, my children will never attend public schools. And yes, I am sure I will get pinged with, "my son's (or daughter's) school is great! They don't do....blah blah blah" Oh really? Read everything they are indoctrinating your children with? Looked for what is being discussed in this article? Remember EVERYTHING is trying to influence your mind. The Gaia / Mother Earth / Earth is an organism / Earth Spirit religion is even creeping into some texts. Every watch "Happy Feet". Ever hate that propaganda ending? Oh did you miss that?

I'm not wild about Dr. Mercola saying he doesn't believe me when I said I saw the gorilla. I looked around for a second so I see what else was in the picture and saw it as it was walking away. Which is funny because as we now know he stands there and beats his chest for a second and I missed that. So, don't tell me I didn't see it when I did!

Besides, that this is very interesting and I'll show it to my fifteen year old son when he gets home.

Can anyone tell me why I feel my gaze is directed on television shows so that I am constantly focusing on breasts? (e.g., situation comedy) Didn't used to be that way. Sure there were buxom ladies with breasts on a rack for display, but the camera perspective has changed so that they're constantly thrust into your vision.

Why did Oprah's face in the upper left corner during a national show look like it was as thin as a models last night? Next time you print out your picture for someone, grab the right edge of it with your mouse, and lose a few pounds without going on a diet.

Why do Hollywood films use bright flashes of light, often with loud noise, particularly during violence and torture sequences? The startle response bypasses the thinking brain. Probably goes straight to your amygdala where you will NEVER forget the movie trailer you just saw. It could be an explosion or even a flashlight the camera suddenly peers into in a night sequence, it has the same effect.

I have no doubt that discussion forums use plants (like this one???) for a variety of reasons, and are also full of ringers from well financed presidential campaigns who cajole kabitz and attack in order to advance their causes and candidates (e.g., Yahoo! Answers).

Sometimes it's fun though, when you trust an artist, to let go of the awareness of controlled perspective, to enjoy the journey they've created for us. Any novel or play does this, and you needn't know how the sausage is made in order to enjoy the product. I hate it though when ice cubes thrown into a glass or the scotch poured over them sound as if you're standing inside of said glass. I guess I'm just too aware of how they make sausage to enjoy it with abandon. Thank God they don't make us listen to their throats swallowing. Oh, guess they did that for sport drink commercials. Big gulp.

Just wait when smell-vision comes to the movies. Eeew.

IN MY BOOK one of the worst examples of marketing perversion is a guy I describe as MR SINCERITY, He has been around for years on the radio with his own " news program " and using SINCERITY to SELL SELL SELL and , as nearly as I can tell, using those insidious UNIVERSITY P R RELEASES type "studies " to constantantly announce NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERIES and I think he calls a major midwest city home. I totally lost interest in him years ago when i read a report on his massive income chubby

I realize that this is off subject, but can anyone PLEASE TELL ME if the book.....Tapping the Healer Within by Roger J. Callahan, Ph.D. or Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard are beneficial self-help books. I was about to buy the book, Tapping the Healer Within over the weekend and I thought I'd run it by all of you first - I don't want to waste the time or money if either of these books are not worth reading. I'm new to all of this so I CAN SURE USE YOUR HELP! WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!

If more high schools taught critical thinking skills...or offered a course in advertising techniques...articles like this would not be necessary. No one, however, can teach us that the secret of happiness is not having more stuffe. That's a realization each of us must come to on his own.
