To me though, what is more disturbing. Is not the fact that it was covered up, or that the media is helping cover it up. It's that the vast majority of the American people believe and never question what they're being told.
I wholeheartedly agree. It is so disturbing to see.
For the most part, our society has been conditioned to be a spoon-fed, convenience-dependent mass. The path of least resistance is, well, easier to follow. Why push past our comfort zone and critically question anything? That might be uncomfortable.
If we don't feel good, our health care providers are ready and willing to write a prescription for any of a million different ailments. Never mind looking for a root cause. That's difficult. Just take a pill. Don't worry about the side affects, we can treat those too... Not saying modern medicine is bad. It is not. It has just been my own personal experience most health care providers (most don't deserve to be called Doctor) give you a ten minute office visit and are super eager to hand you a prescription, rather than listen, investigate, look for the deeper root cause, then make a diagnosis, and outline treatment options. They don't have time. They are running a business after all.
All of this, and much, much, more, has conditioned our society. We are weak. We are soft. We just want our stuff. We just want convenience. We don't want to think. We don't want to be uncomfortable. We don't like honesty, especially if it means our beliefs about something may have been wrong. Even worse is when those beliefs might be tied to a political party.
