You may be too smart to follow the "Illuminati", but you're also too dumb to make your own assertions instead of relating the latest conspiracy theory that has become an epidemic on urban based blogs to every artist imaginable.

If our artists are "puppets" that are here to "dumb down" the masses, then what was the cause of the Illuminati in the 60's back when the artists were inspiring civil right movements for blacks; back when there was an environmental movement to save the Earth; and so on and so forth?

Please... pick up a damn book and do some research on the 'Illuminati' which has only made its recent way into the minds of impressionable young bloggers thanks to the popularity of the Dan Brown's novels, and thus has been warped, manipulated and twisted to fit these conspirator's opinions. You know... Emerson was right. Americans of today no longer know how to think for themselves -- young scholars only know what they are told to think, but no idea seems to originate from their own findings. SMH. Droids.
