The word 'sheeple' is a popular term used by conspiracy theorists to describe the masses of people, who they feel, blindly follow and believe whatever they are told.
From religion to politics to parenting, everyone usually has their own set belief, regardless of the facts.
I recall a conversation I had, years ago, about taking over the counter pain medicine. My personal theory was if the ingredients on the bottle were the same, except for quantity, one could take four 250 milligram tablets to equal one tablet of 1000 milligrams. Math was never my strong suit, but even the calculator agrees with me on this. One person in this conversation got extremely upset and informed me that she would never take medication in such a way. I believed I was right and she believed she was right, even though 250 x 4=1000.
Ever since the first utterance of the words 'global warming',
there has been a fervor of commotion on the planet. It was given to us as an absolute truth, but I find it odd that now the term is seldom, if at all, used. The new phrase for it is 'climate change' and no one seems to care or ask, "But, but, but.....I thought it was global warming?" Countries around the globe are trying to come together to fix this problem, because as the facts point out, it's the fault of the human race.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for saving the planet. This orb is our home, we should take care of it. It would be a wonderful thing to not have to pollute the air, in order for us to enjoy basic needs like heat and electricity. Since I am a huge fan of Nikola Tesla, I believe there are other means for these basic needs that would not only help clear the air, but would save people a lot of their hard earned dollars. But if easier, cheaper ways of doing things don't fit a selected agenda, there won't be much done about it.
In a recent article, John R. Christy a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama, gives some climate facts that we never hear about in the main stream media. When he hears claims of extreme weather getting worse, he points to the evidence, the facts. In the past 60 years, there has been no change in tornadoes. In the past 120 years there has been no change in hurricanes. Even the droughts and heat waves felt in the western United States aren't as bad as they were during the past 1,000 years.*
That is factual evidence that a whole lot of sheeple will heed little attention to. They have jumped on an agenda wagon that is going to spend a bazillion dollars to keep that agenda rolling upfront and foremost, regardless of the facts.
There is a lot of turmoil in the world today. It's too bad that bazillion dollars couldn't be spent on trying to get people to get along with each other. Maybe then we could work together to clean up some of our messes.
