Timothy Leary Think for yourself Question authority Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself. Think for yourself.

Timothy Leary

Think for yourself
Question authority

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening,
terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in
this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the
religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by
giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their
view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and
learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness;
chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.

Think for yourself.
Question authority.

This guy... Birth name Marshall Mathers aka Eminem aka Slim Shady. teens to day look up to him.. even though his words are harsh.. and as lot of his songs I would not want my kids "nephew, niece" listing to it.. I know most kids in the U.S. eat it up.. they look up to him, not are leaders.. and half the time not other adults.. Why?... well.. even though hes mean, harsh.. and crude. he give it to you strait up. no sugar coating. Thats what kids need most these days.. is honesty. Adults to be strait with them. If thats all your want to do is baby the teens, they are going to balk on you. People in Congress tried to put Marshall Mathers out of busies. tried to bring him down.. they even had meetings on his music and how they need to make it to were teen can't get there hands on it.. They said that this man needs to be stopped.. Because hes poisoning are youth.. but you see.. attacking there hero is going to make them rebel against you. you can't do that.. you have to let the teens be there own.. and you have to step up to the plate and be there hero.. not bash they guy they are already looking up to.. that will make them resent you hard core.. So.. I'm going to put up his song White America... its harsh.... lots of bad words.. but..... so much of it is truth... Congress needs to stop bashing this guy and listen to him for a sec.. and see what the state of affairs are teens are in.. Eminem knows this better then all of Congress combined.

People in Congress tried to put Marshall Mathers out of busies. tried to bring him down.. they even had meetings on his music and how they need to make it to were teen can’t get there hands on it.. They said that this man needs to be stopped.. Because hes poisoning are youth.. but you see.. attacking there hero is going to make them rebel against you. you can’t do that.. you have to let the teens be there own.. and you have to step up to the plate and be there hero.. not bash they guy they are already looking up to.. that will make them resent you hard core..

So.. I’m going to put up his song White America… its harsh…. lots of bad words.. but….. so much of it is truth… Congress needs to stop bashing this guy and listen to him for a sec.. and see what the state of affairs are teens are in.. Eminem knows this better then all of Congress combined.
