It wasn't until the 2000 elections that I thought about politics. For the next couple of years I took pride in thinking that me being the only one in class going to cnn.com & watching the news and then going to opinion sites made me smart about politics. I would play WW2 games a lot and took an interest in empires. I started studying the Roman Empire and Republic. Then I began to read Plato and I started thinking. Then I saw Zeitgeist. That didn't make everything click in because I disagree with some of the ideas presented, but it made me wonder. Then, through playing through my Rome: Total War game I noticed that the larger my army was, the more my treasury went down.

Then I heard Ron Paul speak and everything made sense.

I was a sheeple, a Neo-con, happy that our way was best and we should take the fight to them; I'm an Ex-Military SF, Rush fan who loved Ronald Wilson Reagan. I thought spreading our goodness to oppressive countries; freeing their peoples was the kind of thing America should do.

Then a friend ( I think...) sent me this link. It was really hard for me to watch. Even if ONLY half of it is true, we are the biggest Stooges on the globe. That said, there were many things, I had heard of before in passing, throughout my entire life and it just never sank in to my mind.

(good luck)

We were all sheeple at one point. Just as long as you snap out of it is all that matters. Hopefully sooner than later but later is good enough just as long as you do it!

HAHA

ON a separate laugh I love the title of this thread. I think it would make for a great sign at a Ron Paul Rally!

I was a sheeple once also. Until about 2004 when I started developing a sound understanding of our economic system. I quickly realized how fabricated everything was/is.

Same.

I woke up 42 years old and found out I was a sheeple!

I hear you brother. I woke up about a year and a half ago. I was blindly believing the bullshit lies from our media... then, I don't know, I just started reading and reading everyday... alternate news from all over. I digested what seemed to have merit and spit out the nonsense. Most of the nonsense was from the main stream media and I thought.... OMG.... how could our country have gotten to this point? And why did it take me so long to wake up???

But now, awake I am.... and awake I will stay.
