are we all being dumbed down by the media and the goverment?
do all the chemicals added to our foods keep us doped up/ or sedated, so that we do not challange what they tell us,
is it benefical to the goverment to actully have divisions in society e.g racism, drug problems, terroism so that when the need arises for them to do something they need to get away with, they highlight something else and we fall for it evey time
is there a higher power/secret society which us "mere mortals" will never gain acess to and it is only, nearly exposed when a member from that society is about to reveal too much information e.g Dr David Kelly
does it seem that an increased number of people who work
for the government killed thenselves before the war in iraq
have the goverment killed its own poeple to get their own way

Ignorance is a choice that people make, there is no need for the Government to create it. Yes, our educations system has been significantly compromised over the past 20 years. We needed the money for the military. However, there are still plenty of oportunities for people to educate themselves if they desire, especially with the advent of the internet.
The government doesn't need to create disorder, it's a natural state. Somewhere deep inside our minds we still think we're fighting for resources, evolutionary programing. Eventually we'll get over it, in a few thousand years. In the meantime our government is surely going to exploit those circumstances, as will all governments not just ours.
I doubt there is any great conspiracy, it's been rumored about for the last 3000 years. George Bush is barely intelligent enough to tie his own shoes. Do you really think he's capable of such a thing?

Just cuz you're paranoid don't mean they ain't out to getcha!
Seriously, there is definitely a class war going on. It totally does pay for the government to have distractions, much like the Gladiators of ancient Rome.
And despite their protestations to the contrary, when our conflict in Afghanistan was resolved, heroin prices on the street went down, all over the country...
Are we paranoid enough?!

Yes things are dumbed down but only for commercial reasons, there was a time when nobody was interested in what the poor and ignorant spoke about. As for dope in food, I wish soon they'll be a ban on Caffeine, coffee and talking loud

Yes. You are just being paranoid, and if not, what do you think you could do about it anyway?
There are much, much more important things to worry about in life.
