that thing called principle, remember it?

"We let our beliefs cloud our judgement". we practice “confirmation bias” meaning we favour information that supports one’s own views.

"When a politician (or blogger) says what you want to hear, it’s the truth. When he doesn’t, it’s a damned lie. When the mainstream media misses a story, it’s because they’re trying to cover it up; when the alternative media misses it, it’s because they didn’t have the resources."

it is so unfortunately true and i just love it. mainstream media? alternative media? i wonder which category i fall into. hmmmm, was i ever mainstream though? and anyway, who defines what's mainstream and what's alternative? again, just because it doesn't fit the general mould, it's alternative? it's radical? tell me, what is radical?

what about if we look at it from the 'alternative' point of view? they could be the mainstrem one and the other party the alternative. i think we've 'progressed' (or regressed, thus the " ") so much that there is not much black and white left. in fact, there are a million shades of grey in between. the line between what's what is so blurred, or so overlooked, that it ceased to exist at some point of society. line? what line? what definition? society has moved on so much that probably, and scarily, no one seems to bother to stand on that ground called principle any longer
