19. Brilliant, as usual
I have the same dream. Something will cause a mass-epiphany.

You are correct that we KNOW. Many know. Films like 'no End in Sight' demonstrate that many know, as did Fahrenheit 911. But yet the Orwellian, Lewis Carroll world continues on. People continue to live their lives, go to work, take the kids to school...

But like in the movie Network, people will gradually realize they are being played for fools; then resentment will take hold, and they'll be "mad as hell and not going to take it any more."

The signs that some put out at the 2006 election were trying to stimulate that: "Republicans think you're stupid."

I fear, though, that the takeover has gone so far that when the masses finally look up from the tube, or the ball game, or whatever, and say "hey, wait a minute!" it will be too late. It will be like cattle realizing that long march with cowboys keeping them company and protecting them from predators was NOT a trip to Disneyland, that the pens they are now enclosed in are a feedlot and that big building is a slaughterhouse.

I keep hoping though.
