is in a much worse state than it was when Nixon was president.

By now, the Republicrat Party has decided that if we have allowed the last six years to prevail without any heads rolling in Washington thus far, then they have lulled us enough to throw the real big crap at us peons.

That real big crap is yet to come. That is what scares me.

(to those who still think there are two legit parties, WAKE UP, there is one big internationalist corporate fascist party taking this country to the cleaners and eventual bankruptcy while they laugh all the way to their Swiss bank accounts)

What Occam said was that explanations should make as few assumptions as possible, and that any assumption that doesn't impact observable prediction should be discarded. In scientific terms, the simplest solution is the one that makes the fewest assumptions and posits the fewest hypotheses, not the one with the fewest moving parts.

The simplest solution is not always or even often the right one, exactly what I was trying to say.

Anyone with one ear to the ground and an open mind knows that hundreds of US government officials over the years with privileged access to information have admitted candidly in various forums that aliens indeed are among us (despite naysayers' claims to the contrary), yet Occam's Razor as practiced WRONGLY today by too many supposedly intelligent people would ascribe 'imagination' or 'hallucination' (both supposedly simpler and less hypothetical explanations) to people seeing UFOs in the sky rather than the more complex explanation that they indeed came from elsewhere to visit Earth. The way this false line of so-called logic goes: we cannot definitively PROVE they are physical beings who come from elsewhere, ergo they must not exist.

and Occam never said that the simplest explanation (as you describe above) is ALWAYS RIGHT, merely that it might be more likely to be right, but that it indeed CAN also be wrong. The key is that the 'intelligence' of those setting the stage in any given circumstance can cause things to seem upside down from reality. Since we do not (and CANNOT) know everything from a god's eye point of view, a lot of things about our 'reality' can thus be falsely asserted.

But we can go on in circles indefinitely about this since no claim of evidence or testimony regarding UFOs is ever enough to convince some people.

or our mask fell off

But really, the only thing that has changed since 2000 is that our so called leaders' OVERT behavior now is aligned with the COVERT behavior of the CIA prior to 2000, legitimizing the evil that was lying there, suspected by the world.

What Bush did to Americans I liken to a mafia that secretly commits heinous crimes in the name of its community, then lays those crimes in the lap of those they supposedly protected, and says, "now you get to own this!".

They caused the damage, they made their money, now the problem belongs to the rubes (Americans) who fell for the gag.

I knew there was something fucked up about that country.
