Surrealism is marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream or, in this case, a nightmare. We usually awaken from a nightmare and avoid the horrors that might end us. In this surreal reality we seem to be unable to awaken from this nor find way to curtail or divert the damages being done. I hope you are correct PCIntern and this is the beginning of the end for him. We can't wake up soon enough.
