“Like” is a word originally used to make comparisons. Consider caveman A says to cave person B (everyone is welcome to live in a cave- I exclude no one). He says: “I had a dream last night about a horrible, dark face. It was going to eat me, like a giant tiger!” The dark face was not actually a tiger. But, we recognize it was beast-like, eager to devour him and growling presumably.

Then, Hollywood high-jacked this vital communication tool to make a mockery in “Valley Girls.” Big hair, bubblegum-chewing, teenage girls bludgeoned the word saying: “Like…Oh My God! I am like… SO EXCITED!”

Why people believe news from television stations whose main job is to sell Hollywood illusions, I will never know. Maybe its that gray potion putting people to sleep I talked about in “Where’s the Manna”?

The main stream media’s other master is Big Pharma. Everyone wants to believe there is a ‘quick fix’ for their pain and suffering. Day and night, the television sells them. The drive through window at Walgreens is as non-stop as the one at McDonald’s.

McDonald’s is another source of revenue for television stations. See where I am going here?? The TV serves its masters. It fuels the beast that is devouring us, our modern day one, the “machine” of state.

So, I don’t “like” Hollywood. I don’t like Big Pharma. I don’t like lying in the media or in the pulpits. But Jesus, I like. He’s the one who showed me these things so we would not be fooled by illusions or partake in the dangerous business of lies and deception.

Defy the Lie!!
