Put yo thinkin' caps on!

I'll admit, my interest in the Kennedy assassinations is verging on obsession. In the past two days, I've watched multiple documentaries on the subject and I'm currently re-reading Bobby Kennedy's biography.
I don't pretend to be an expert on the subject; I've only scraped at the surface of the conspiratorial mystery surrounding the assassinations. But, what I have come to realize, is that the government is intent on wiping out free thought; they would rather have us blindly follow the Warren Commission's assessment of the crime, than piece together a much more logical explanation. I find it a brutal insult to my intelligence. 
What I believe is more important than having "knowledge", or more fittingly, an illusion of knowledge, is continually seeking after it. We are more inclined to believe what we hear from the mass media and from our peers, than challenge what we're told. Challenging our belief system not only takes a considerable amount of effort, but it removes us completely from our sense of false security.
The fundamental problem is that many of us have lost the ability to think for ourselves. When was the last time you questioned what someone told you, that you did what you wanted to do, not what others would have you do? Our minds are the only resource we have left, and when we yield to greater or lesser powers, we have lost everything.
