This was inspired by Bono's pomposity and the general pervasiveness in (generally younger) humanity of an expectation of magic to fall out of the sky and fix everything, preferably while eroding individual rights in favor of group rights defined merely by the whim du jour.
Can anyone conceive of a molecule (group) that couldn't exist without the atom (individual)?
I would like to conduct an experiment whereby we "redistribute" and "sacrifice" everthing and everyone until there's nothing left to sacrifice -- what a beautiful, barren rock in space we would have for the "greater good" of all the downtrodden!
So how do we combat naivete people?

You could write it on a History textbook, for one thing. Or write you fixed the world and everything was happiness until you died.
No one could prove you wrong.
Why am I bitter? Because the new planet space people discovered is never going to be on the textbooks because that would mean throwing away the old ones and establishing new ones and contradicting stupid churches. It is more of a planet than Pluto, so either the new one should be added or Pluto deleted.
But oh no, it's too much work to re-design textbooks. They have the designs ready for the next two prints, so maybe wait another ninety years and maybe (MAYBE) there will be a correction. But we won't be alive! Isn't that sweet?
Whatever lie is debunked, if it's still on a textbook, it will be taught as the truth of the universe for at least a couple more decades. So if you want something to be 'real' that couldn't possibly be, just get it on a textbook somehow and it'll be truth.
The American ways. Gotta love 'em.

tell them to distribute their wealth first so we can see how its done....set an example. dont ask me to donate to the greater good unless theyre willing to show their dedication to it by sacrificing their lifes savings...just tell them to put up or shut the f up.
