You're right OW. This is a dangerous dark thing and should not be ....investigated.
I understand being informed is a good thing. Which IMHO is different from delving into it, to understand it's workings. That part can really mess with you.
For example American Family Assn. use to put out a monthly briefing packet, about TV shows. They had a few staff members, watch all these different TV shows, and then summit their findings, how much skin was in a show, how much profanity, etc..... Most, if not all, of the staff (the investigators) got hooked on porno, lost their families, and became perverts.
I, and probably most everybody, didn't need them to watch all those shows and tell me it was bad. All you need to do is know the rating of the show/movie.
The Bible tells us over and over that governments are controlled by the dark side. So if the dark side isn't kept in check, in our local, state, national, and soon global governments, the tendency will be to go further down that path.
This is well known. So, well known that it is called the "Broken Windows" policy on "Blue Bloods".
And it is not votes that keeps the dark side in check. It is the righteous lives of the individuals.
This "Broken Windows" policy is what we are not doing in this country. Just guessing but if Hillary had her butte tore up as a kid, and her parents disciplined her for her activist ways in college, would she be where she is today with voodoo dolls?
I know good parents can have bad kids. But then the bad company corrupts good morals, also comes into play-note Bill.
