			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><sup>first draft</sup><br />
I remember getting angry one day and yelling at my friends that they did not know what I know. I don&#8217;t mean to sound pompous, but really, all that I know, I don&#8217;t think that most people really want to know it.</p>
<p>Personally, I think most peoples heads would pop. Everything from corporate America, to technology, to the politics of America and the world both beyond and within, the insight I have really should in large part be kept to myself.</p>
<p>Someday&#8217;s I feel like finding the person in charge and tell them what is really going on, mostly because I want to see if I am right. But I don&#8217;t. Not because I fear being wrong, but that their head might pop. Then I would naturally feel responsible.</p>
<p>That would be nice if that was true, but to be straight with you, I don&#8217;t think their head would literally pop, I know that they would trust their vantage point over mind. I remember when I was a camp counselor one of the campers looked at the mountain and told how she didn&#8217;t see the mountain, but the rocks, and the bugs under the rocks, the fallen leaves and all the little things that made up the the big.</p>
<p>Too often we are distracted by our vantage point. Our points of view, and too often that clouds what the real big picture is, or rather the larger picture. Every universe is composed of galaxies, and solar systems, planets and habitats all composed of molecules made from protons, electrons, protons, and quarks, at the same moment the quarks that make the protons and neutrons, the electrons and the molecules are used to make up the habitats that exist inside the planets of the solar systems, contained within a galaxy organized into a universe. All bound together by with some variance of time.</p>
<p>We live in a world that isn&#8217;t constant and that will not make sense no matter how hard we try to make sense of it. How many times do we trick ourselves in stopping here? Resigning to the fact that none of this makes sense, so we find one thing and try to make sense of that. The unfortunate things is that when those two notations are merged an abstract portrait of reality is spread across the heavens for all to see comprised those rocks and twigs we cannot see from a distance.</p>
<p>Do you really want to look at your companies news channel and notice pixelation in the logo? Do you want to know that the image used for the hi def broadcast was most likely copied from a letter head graphic. My guess is no you don&#8217;t, which is my point, you don&#8217;t want to know what I know, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that you shouldn&#8217;t. Do you want stair at a billboard by sprint and read the words, &#8220;better than three coats of sun tan.&#8221; Do you want to know how many clueless individuals had to ok such a large waste of money and know that their is someone that still thinks that the brain trust behind that slogon is a pretty smart lady? Or how good that billboard looks on the happless group of people that brain stormed for hours to think up such a mind numbingly offensive slogin?</p>
<p>There is a reality out there that is made to seem to complicated for us to understand, that it is so absurd the ones that fight the hardest for you to not to try to understand it understand it the least.</p>
<p>I would tell you more, but there is that hole head popping things. Two much reality in concentrated amounts is never advised.</p>
<p>By the way, thanks Alan John</p>
