If you read my title, and understood. Then you're awesome.
Moving on.
Drugs.
The word itself is taboo before the eyes of the nation. But is there, right underneath the coating.
If I may touch on the drug market for a second here. Each year, I've seen a different set of commercials on TV. I could watch higher trafficked local channels or even ones like Nick At Night and see drug commercials. The commercials for the sleep aids and sexual enhancements. Or how about the ones they don't advertise like the others. Ritalin for example.
You do realize, that most people today are suffering from severe insomnia. Their everyday lives have driven them over the edge of peacefulness, and their brains continue to run long into the night. I know, simply because I am one. Say La vi. The past 5 commercials for drugs I've seen have been for 3 different sleep-aid medications. Sleep peacefully. Awake fully functional, and ready to go. I guess Nyquil just doesn't do it for people anymore.
Several years ago, it was Viagra. The hottest drug, (And still remains to be, massively selling) on the market at the time. Why? Well because it plays upon the fear of most men, mainly American. The ability to sexually perform not just for a long time, but with vigor! Something that, according to my older friends you lose. And of course, if you can't perform your woman will find someone who will. More and more people have come to rely on this market for their sex.
Just like more and more people will begin to rely on these prescriptions to sleep.
Think about all of those things you feel, every emotion in your brain and how stressful and tiring they get. How they eat away at your thoughts, and affect your performance daily. What if they could all go away, and you could have the stability you've always wanted? Who could resist something like that. More and more people will begin to rely on these prescriptions to live.
Business men will pop a Ritalin and a Valium to go into work.
Work efficiently and even all day long.
Come home, eat.
Pop a sleep-aid and good night until tomorrow.
Simple. Easy. Effective.
It generates money at the top, a happy thriving company all together. Everybody wins.
Too bad the world isn't as perfect as that. Or maybe it will be someday?
Getting high might just be the way to make it through your day. I know some people already practice this. And seem to be living happy, fulfilled lives. Too bad nothing is as perfect as that.
Illegal drugs, Where do I begin.
Illegal drugs are exploitable. Inexpensive. And totally unfair. Right?
Drug dealers hold the addiction card in their hand. Once they establish a customer, its as simple as a contract. That customer will come back. Again and again.
They give the person what they want, good times today, stupid ones tomorrow.
But it is that good time that will make the person come back for more.
Physical addiction aside, there is a mental addiction to everything. Everything from Pencil chewing to computer usage. And it is for this reason that the drug dealers are prosecuted.
They are using something that is an unfair advantage. Do you really believe that Pharmaceutical companies aren't holding that card? These are just sponsored drug dealers. Literally, by definition. Do they serve an important purpose for day to day life? Of Cource. I do not doubt that they save lives daily. But they are also hooking their client base for the next 20 years at the same time.
It's becoming more and more difficult for me to distinguish deviants and exploitation in this day and age. There is a double edged sword in everything. The real trouble is protecting yourself from the blade facing your way.
It doesn't matter what you're selling.
Washing machines.
Drugs.
Blowjobs.
As long as you don't fail, they'll keep coming back for more.
People will always come back for more if they know you have what they want.
They'll pay the price you want.
They'll be as vulnerable as a newborn.
They'll be as oblivious as you make them

Intelligence And It's Dimensions.
Intelligence.
I could stare at this word for hours on end, and still not have an adequate definition.
If I may quote the web definition.. "the ability to comprehend; to understand and profit from experience." I beg to ask the question, How are the people defined that comprehend the situation but simply strike it from their thoughts?
Now, on a side-note. This is why falling in love with someone is defined as "stupid." Simply because of the fact that it is bias against the universal definition of intelligence.
Now MSN Encarta has provided me with a nice base quote here.
"Most people have an intuitive notion of what intelligence is, and many words in the English language distinguish between different levels of intellectual skill: bright, dull, smart, stupid, clever, slow, and so on. Yet no universally accepted definition of intelligence exists, and people continue to debate what, exactly, it is. Fundamental questions remain: Is intelligence one general ability or several independent systems of abilities? Is intelligence a property of the brain, a characteristic of behavior, or a set of knowledge and skills?"
While I am just at a loss for words when attempting to define Intelligence, I do have this to say.
In its current definition, all human beings with a somewhat functional brain are intelligent. They are able to comprehend most situations they are placed in, and most of the time placate those situations. However, the ringing question still remains. If the being does not act upon its comprehension does this make them Stupid? I've got another question to ask you.
Lets say, there is a fenced in area for horses.. The horses keep breaking the fences around the area and escaping. Two levels of intelligence branch from this situation. The human owner of the Ranch is forced to put up electric fences. Level one. 3 of the 4 horses run into the fence multiple times, get electrocuted and hurt. The 3 horses never run through the fence again. Level two. The 4th horse of the group watches the other 3 run and get hurt. And it does not attempt the same feat. Level three.
Go back and read the last word I typed. Say it to yourself in your head. Visualize it.
If you doubled back and re-read my paragraph. Good work, by definition you're intelligent.
If there is a mechanic, who looks at a problem with a car and knows the solution.
That mechanic comprehends that the owner of this car probably does not understand the problem with his/her car. They could in turn charge them for unneeded work, parts and other things. Is this mechanic more intelligent than me?
If there is a Spanish speaking student, with exceptional grades that comes to America. Applies to college, and is forced to take an English SAT. They get a grade of 300 simply because they do not understand the full dynamics of the English language unlike the other people who take the test. Most of which have been hearing English all around them since birth. Does this student lack intelligence?
If you had to Dictionary.com some of the words I used.. Does that make you unintelligent?
Breast.
So then what is a universal test of intelligence?
What could we possiblity administer to a massive group of people to weed out the smarter individuals?
It is our culture to let the ones that have mastered academic studies assume the higher positions in our country. Those who scored well on their SAT. Those who were consistent and forthgoing with their work. However, do you really think these people deserve these positions? If you think of the dynamics of how they all got there, you'll understand. They mastered a certain criteria of skills, that allowed them to get to the top. Which means, they all mastered the same skills. They all have a single-fold view on situations. Which is why, it makes sense that these people are usually consistent with each other.
The true test of intelligence is not a single lane highway of test.
It is a thousand-lane highway. Each person passing fluently with the skills that they are best fitted with. I'm sure that everyone is intelligent in one way or another. (I'm giving all closed minded, weaker individuals a chance here.) Some people pass in 8 lanes. Some in 24. Some in all thousand. Too bad the world isn't ever that perfect.
Base natural intelligence extends into the lot of extreme complexity alot more then you think.
You can either be the horse that figured it out, watching as the others run into a world of pain.
You can be the horse that follows the so-called intelligent blindly.
Or, You can be the one that looks at the electrical box and sees the source of it all.
Horses are usually lacking in the brain usage department.
But then there are the intelligent ones who have done exactly what I've said.
Humans are usually lacking in the brain usage department.
But then there are the intelligent ones who have done exactly what I've said.
Most people will do anything as long as they aren't alone.
Most people won't really listen to you.
Most people will pay attention to the things that don't matter.
Most people won't pay attention to what's really happening.
Most people will be oblivious.
Most people are not as free as they think they are.

Insert Fame Here (Intro)
Well, I'm No One.
I'm your typical child of the Millennium, spending more time as his computer daily then outside.
I have a Myspace. Facebook. LiveJournal. And various other fad-accounts all over the Internet.
I've been to all of the pages. The pages of people who spread like wild-fire with their videos, pictures, music and other various creations. I've seen the evoloution of the internet, the living testament of the 1st Amendment.
Its funny how information will flow like it does. Its like a huge spider web. (World Wide Web? Hah. I await the day where I input UWW in front of my webpages. The universe is the limit.)
One person will create a blog. Talking about how their life is miserable. They lost their job, and their girlfriend is cheating on them again. Their friend reads it, is surprized. They instant message that person's girlfriend. Along with alerting her other friend. And soon enough, this blog will be in everyone's cache. Rumors spreading like wildfire.
It is known fact that the internet accelerates gossip by thousands of percent. Word can travel faster then it has ever been able to before, with fiber optic connections and wide band data rates. And that word, minus the obvious bias to those unconnected to this massive stream, can reach all over the world in seconds. I can walk through New York City, and hit more Wifi hotspots then Pizza places. It just goes to show you how our culture has evolved and escalated into this insane system.
Getting famous used to be word of mouth and distributing your demo to as many recording studios as you could afford to send it to. Exposure is the key. Now, imagine the possibilies. The internet is home to some of the greatest artists, writers, musicians, philosophers.. I could keep going. You could Google (A phrase that also coined a generation.) exactly what you want and have the most popular result right in front of you.
I'm sure there will be many elites from each of these groups, that will go completely unnoticed. Then again, are they still considered elites if they can't draw the attention? I've seen people create videos that I thought were senseless and have over 100,000 views in less than a month. I've also seen videos I thought were amazing, which I was lucky to see get 500 views. If you want instant fame, insert any sexual word, phrase or picture into your page.
Breast.
Don't beleive me? I have proof.
In 2004, someone created a video. Called "The Rage Of Flippy" (Google Video Rage Of Flippy, It'll be the first and only result..) A video that all of my friends thought was absolutely hilarious. This video, in 2007 has 575 views. 3 years? 575 views? Give me a break.
In 2003, before this "The Rage Of Flippy" was recorded. This same person posted a video titled "Flippy's Breast Implants" (Google Video Flippy's Breast Implants, first and only result.) This video currently has 3,669 views. It generates about 100 views per month now.
While these videos are completely senseless, you get my idea. I'm not saying you're going to grab someone's mind by putting sex into your work. But its an easy way to pull their attention.
I digress.
The general public are attracted to a few things.
Sex.
Stupidity.
Injury.
Intelligence.
Hate.
Love.
They will defend something they love.
They will diminish something they hate.
They will read intelligence, hoping to scrape some off.
They will hope never to end up in that situation.
They will want more then they get.
They will use the internet to connect their lives.
They will use the internet as a way to waste time in fantasy.
They will. Do just about everything.
They will do what you want, if you are smart enough.
