It's as silly as blaming everything on the Freemasons, or the Illuminati, or insert-bad-guy-here. But I do believe that someone must ask the hard questions, especially of our elected officials as well as powerful men who become members of so-called secret societies. Remember: Governments don't lie. People lie. And if you want the real story, you need to find out more about those people.","author":"Brad Meltzer","tags":["blame","blaming-others","conspiracies","conspiracy","conspiracy-theories","conspiracy-theory","finding-truth","government","guilt","history","investigation","journalism","lies","lying","question-everything","questions","skepticism","skeptics","truth"],"id":93377,"author_id":"Brad+Meltzer"},{"text":"The world can use more light and less noise.

It lets you focus on everyone else's shortcomings, and all the ways they have let you down. You can bemoan how all these broken people keep finding you somehow. That way you don't have to focus on what really matters -- the tough work of fiing what is broken inside you.","author":"Glenn Beck","tags":["anger","blaming-others","broken","self-reflection"],"id":154977,"author_id":"Glenn+Beck"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":25,"pages":3,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
