That's true.  Catch is no one reasonably deduce things themselves because none of us will believe anything unless someone in charge of us tells us.  We have been trained since we were children to be this way.  The other thing that happens is this...  We come up with the  idea then dismiss it and don't act on it.  Stuff like this: We KNOW that the fed is a giant shitty Control system that has ruined just about every country on earth.  Yet we all still have credit cards.  House mortgages. Students loans. Etc.    Why doesn't anyone act on it.  It's because we were told not to.  It has been part of my life's work to live outside of the debt slave world and I have done it.    That said it is hard and people say I'm completely insane for not having a credit card.
