It is empowering to investigate the roots of things rather than blindly accept them. Often what is revealed is extremely suprising. Anyone remember those tons of weapons of mass destruction? Would a wise person just accept that world champions eat Smacko Crunches in order to break records. Or that the models in the 1 sec Ab Mcgenius developed their impressive abs by using it. Or that tons of retired bodybuilders have stuffed kidneys and hearts because of genetic defects, and that it had nothing to do with a bombardment of drugs? In a different forum some original documents were traced and located by an enterprising poster, which threw an interesting light on the roots and aims of the US education system. Was the Roman Emporer really guided by and motivated by God, and the well being of mankind, when Catholicism was created?

If the herd is running over a cliff, or wandering straight into an ambush, its not a bad thing to stick your head up and have a look around. Sometimes its better to say 'See yas'. Make use of what you find. I have found self reliance to be a good thing.
