I know it doesn't sound like it sometimes when I post, but I really do believe most people don't live off hate and fear.

Those in power have been there from the beginning and have always been eager to sacrifice the peasants to continue their rule. Historically there have been entire towns, villages, and cities, forfeited in that quest. They live for one thing, and that is to maintain power and control. Of course they also obtain amusement out of playing us as their minions and idiots. Social media provides the jester of our day

We know that a snake will bite you, so why we keep thinking by placing them against our chest, we will be safe from the inevitable bite and the toxin it carries, is a constant conundrum for me.
