Acceptance

In recognition of Mardi Gras there’s a piece here titled, The Only Gay in the Village. It’s an account by a gay guy living in a mid-sized Queensland town. In addressing tolerance and acceptance from the townsfolk he asks,

How far do you have to go to escape the big smoke? How far is it, to where there is no cappuccino crowd and people have big hearts but smaller minds?

Here’s a great tale dealing with such issues...

Back in the eighties I spent a year working in the New England countryside. The local village consisted of a shop, a hotel and some 20 houses. The place was so small it only rated an 80 kph speed limit on the highway

Shortly after I arrived the hotel was taken over by some city hoteliers - a married couple and a gay bloke, Graham. He was originally from the district, having grown up there before moving to the city for twenty years.

Graham knew everyone and still had immediate family residing in the area. Yet despite this, his obvious homosexuality seemed to be a black mark for the district’s farmers, shearers and villagers promptly withdrew their patronage of the hotel.

It was truly depressing standing with my work crew in an otherwise deserted bar each night as Graham and the married couple panicked over their perilous financial situation, calling into question everything they had hoped for in moving from the city.

However, after a two week visit to Sydney I returned to find the bar once again supported by the locals. After dinner I asked Graham what had happened to cause such a remarkable turnaround.

“I decided to show ‘em I was no pansy,” he chuckled. “So last weekend I went to the annual rodeo and rode a bull. Sure, I didn’t last long and got thrown heavily, but at least I proved myself. That night they all came back to the pub and it’s been full ever since.”

That’s life in the bush where sometimes one only has to 'have a go' to be accepted.

The way the gods changed and maintain this environment suggests they want people pacified, comfortable with this system, perpetually thinking wrong.
What they don't know won't hurt them.
This is why they worked so hard to defeat this event. If people were to come around, realize they've been corrupted and began to behave appropriately this would defeat all their work over the last century and more. With Artificial Intelligence they could maintain control, affect my delivery, utilize other tactics, ensuring they could dispatch the majority of the audience.
If you behaved appropriately you would realize more sucess than you do::::
There are churches and places of worship everywhere for good reason::::The gods hae expectations of the people.

In case you are still interested in the god's Planet Earth theater, favored redwhite&blue is a MAJOR player, and their favor is significant to justify not only the destruction of my life but the destruction of the Final Prophet and Planet Earth as well::::
Favored redwhite&blue is the true enemy of the people. I suspect consistant with this they are positioned responsible for the environmental deterioration that the repression of alternate technologies has wrought.
The gods put their positioning into place and then enforce it:::Christianity, Manifest Destiny, Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis, 1906's New Roman Empire. I suspect World War II's Nazi ideals of "Aryan superrace" is another example of the gods getting their tools into place for the theater that will be the Apocalypse.
Because of their status as enemies of the New Roman Empire the germans are going to be positioned as the destructors, similar to how they were portrayed in World War II.
Don’t be surprised if favored redwhite&blue turns out to be the Anti-Christ and leads the Fourth Reich, fulfilling this positioning and proving to the world the destructive nature of this economic system. This may not be exactly how their script reads, but the god's have a BIG SURPRISE like this to spring on the disfavored, and it will contain an insult like this as a clue NOT to watch this theater::::::Expect they will fulfill some contrived positioning foreshadowed in WorldWarII:::Some American plays the role of hero and emerges as the Second Coming of Christ for this final scene.
Who will it be? Italian? Look for at least the mother to be Italian, consistant with matrilineal descent, allowing the New Roman Empire to claim the Second Coming of Christ.

People may say “How can they poisiton favored redwhite&blue in as the Anti-Christ?” It may be consideration. Don’t forget:::They prey on enemies of the Roman Empire out of respect for their Manifest Destiny superiors.
The gods positioning the Italians gave it to him for his loyalty. They gave it to him for his efforts to defeat alternate technologies/energy sources, ensuring the people would be delivered to the point of desperation.
It’s all theater. The gods position it that the New Roman Empire is dooling out the “big prizes”, and Anti-Christ is a big role. Likely the gods position it as it buys him immortality in the context of this absentee-Christian god positioning. The “help” of this “back hand” is the gods positioned that he needs this to achieve immortality because of all the evil he engaged in during the course of his life, building his organizational empire.
It’s all just theater.

I reckon the above commenter is "History Channel's Life After People", who left a comment the length of the Bible on "Garnaut", using a new alias..

Apparently they are not using the Seroquel as suggested, or it hasn't kicked in yet..

You beauty! We can all start leaving 100,000 word comments.. Now, where is Paul Pluta..
