Wow...I came to this site for the excellent tutorial on tcpdump, but I wasn't expecting this topic. I usually like to see conspiracies limited to the movies, but I don't think this push for a one-world government is all that far fetched at all. This sentiment was already tried twice in the last century, with the League of Nations after World War I and the United Nations after World War II. With each iteration the model grows more successful - and I fear the next "release".

I don't think many Paul supporters would or even could support Obama, because the man promises so many things antithetical to his movement. Threats of foreign intervention in Pakistan, threats of nuking Iran over Israel, threats of committing a sizable portion of our GDP to "fighting global poverty" (under U.N. auspices, naturally), are things that no classical liberal, traditional republican, or indeed our founding fathers would subscribe to.

We should also look at who Obama has surrounded himself with. Z. Brzezinski was one of his "surrogate" advisers, and if this man is not the definition of "Washington insider" or "business as usual", I don't know what does. Oh, and he founded the Trilateral Commission and is in the CFR.

This sort of inferred observation does cross into the realm of "conspiracy", but one observable fact can be gleaned from all of this. Polls show popular opinion for the U.S. government at literally all time lows. Congress is near single digit approval ratings. People don't feel they are underrepresented, or ignored, or disrespected by what should be civil servants. Worse yet, we are being taxed at an incredible rate to allow these people lives of luxary. To put it one way, you essentially work from January to April (because many must give 33% of their wages to the IRS) so that we can provide our congressmen and women with opulent, high-rolling, jetset lifestyles. The rest we throw into a hole somewhere in Iraq, or sink it into welfare, or social security, or medicare, or whatever boondagle idea they'll cook up next.

This is the current situation. Now expand that to a global scale. We will have less representation, less governmental oversight, and less individual freedom. The world of Star Trek operated on reason and light. Our world operates on intellectual arrogance and lust for power. Obama is the new boss, same as the old boss, but the rhetoric has spun the siren's song well. Strap in, America.

ADD is way overdiagnosed, I actually met with a psychiatrist in a free consultation to see what they'd say, knowing full and well that I don't have the disorder, and guess what? I was diagnosed with ADD and recommended to take a regimen consisting of two different pills. They make money off of writing prescriptions, and therefore hand them out to anyone who walks in the door. I've met about 50 young adults who've hidden behind the term ADD or ADHD, and yet I can say only two of them were severely impaired to the point of being unable to focus without medication. (One still takes days to study for a test or to write short papers, even on medication). The others are lazy, aren't interested in what their teachers are saying, or are mildly spacey. A lot of them don't realise that it takes EFFORT to pay attention to something that's boring, and when confronted with the choice of paying attention (paying is expending something and getting something in return, it's not given to you) or slacking, they'll opt for the latter and then take shelter under the trendy disorder that every fucking person in the world seems to have. Everyone daydreams. Everyone gets bored. Get over yourself, have some pride and stop making excuses. You have to grow up some time, and that's why you see children with ADD, and adults who say they USED to have ADD. They start taking responsibility for their actions, and what do you know? Cured. Not with a daily dose of amphetamines. There's a reason why children are diagnosed with ADD, because all a shrink has to do is confirm that your child is in fact a child, and then they'll have plenty of reasons as to why they need to be doped up in order to function in society. Yes, some people do have a severe case of ADD. But it's rare, and it's not just a lack of interest. It's the inabilty to do anything, even things that they enjoy, without major interruption of their train of thought.

Look online at the symptoms of ADD. According to them, you have ADD. But the fact that you just read all of my rant clearly shows that you don't.
