Have you ever watched television? Often to the point of banality, you find love stories where couples do some romantic bullshit and they kiss near a crowd full of strangers who proceed to clap enthusiastically. Who are those spectators? They are you. In truth, they are extras. They are meant to represent the viewers. You all sit there, and while you may not physically clap or cheer, you are supposed to feel the same exuberance. The extras are in place to make you feel ok about being a nosy, eavesdropping, perverted voyeur.

Liberal productions are the worst in these cases. Many liberals want everything to be public, like a coalition of depraved Catholics who want all of life to be an ongoing confessional. Some of us though, Americans especially with our 4th amendment, hold great value in privacy. This is contrary to the coercion found in many liberal films, where the protagonist must convert to liberalism/catholicism or be deserted by the person they love.

To exemplify my point, I direct you to the movie, "As Good As It Gets". I find this production to be an atrocity of tremendous magnitude. The liberals: one gay, one black, one single liberated mother, must convert the main character (a typical conservative), into their way of living. If they fail, the man must live out his remaining days in abandoned misery. They attempt all sorts of pleasurable temptations, finally managing to convince him of his own evil ways and even antagonizing him into taking drugs. During the film, it is unclear whether the main character is the protagonist or antagonist. There doesn't seem to be a real antagonist, only a conservative who is the antagonist until converting to the protagonist with his conversion to liberalism. You also find prophetic mentions of health-care concerns when the child of our liberated, liberal, single-mother, angelic, perfect protagonist needs medical attention.

Yes, it is a horrific tale. You can find many others like it. Film can be a powerful thing. Let's take another example. This time, i'll use a conservative nightmare.

The movie is Armageddon. It stars Bruce Willis and other people. In this culmination of everything wrong with the Bush administration, we find a bunch of dumb oil drillers saving the world from a giant asteroid. These people, like all oil workers, have low IQ's and low education-levels. In this case, they must go into space (after almost no training), and plant nukes inside a monstrous meteor. The movie is basically a giant metaphor for oil saving the world. In the end, the main protagonist sacrifices his own life to save humanity. Not only does oil save the world, but apparently, Jesus was an oil-man. Not long after this film was released, the United States installed George Bush.

The media has a great deal of power over common people. Most are completely unaware of the things I have explained. Ignorants may well be controlled by what they watch on television. Someone who likes 'romance' films might romantically dislike you if you value privacy, believing real love is publicly suitable. The non-voyeur or anti-voyeur is made out to be the antagonist, making it so the real equivalent is treated as an antagonist. Many writers are petty idiots, who, if you irritate them, will make you the antagonist in their next production. This power of film, of media in general, is something most are unfamiliar with. Recognizing the methods might require an expertise in literature. Can the common public understand what is being done to them, or will they persist in being puppets and pawns of the media empire?

Writing is supposed to be an art-form. Artists should never become moralists. If they choose to enter politics, religion or moralism, they should learn as much science as they know art. That is, unless they want to damage the world. Artists can be foolish creatures, who for some unknown reason, delude themselves into thinking they are knowledgeable. Maybe they become famous and want to use their fame for something worthwhile. Unfortunately, they don't necessarily have the knowledge to know the difference between worthwhile and worthless. Or worse yet, worthwhile and catastrophic.

Now, I don't claim to know everything. But I do know enough to know how much I don't know (and how much others don't know). I dropped out of high-school when I was 16 and I didn't go to college (just like Einstein). Today though, with the internet, you can educate yourself quite possibly better than any traditional educational institution could. It may not secure you a job like a college degree would, but certainly, an education should amount to more than a decent job. Porn is funny though.
