1. It wouldn't surprise me too much.
Seems like things are approaching some sort of critical mass.

4. It's what Fox WANTS to happen
They're prodding and poking the violent morons that watch Fox.

They're trying to create the news.

9. Any crisis, natural or man made, would have to interfere w/popular pastimes in order to serve as an
... impetus to fuel any last-straw-reactionary pockets of insurrection

12. Exactly right.
As I said in the past, if you want people to get all pissed off and protest, rise the price of a gallon of gas to 5 bucks.

Until then, what's on the tv machine?

14. I guess I am a little more cynical than you, Javaman.
Because during the Giggling Murderer's Dictatorship, it got pretty close.

And American Idol was still more important then.

I'm not sure if it's so much that our fellow countrymen don't WANT to remain a free people.

It's maybe that they just can't be bothered to any longer.

I have to apply myself more. :)

I think we as individuals are now so completely buried under the supposed need for more information, that our lives become, as a result, more scattered and less defined.

Purposely keeping us off balance to make sure we never again coalesce into a unified voice.

like moron* said, "my job is to catapult the propaganda".

we get it from all sides now and we all (generally speaking) think we are either under-preforming or inadequate if we aren't multitasking.

We are forced into believing that we have less and less time during the day to get anything done. Nope. We have been brainwashed into believing that, so our attention span is shortened, our want vanishes due to perceived lack of time and our level of care about an issue becomes transient due to lack of adequate time to focus on it.

I'm slowly moving toward being an Iconoclast, how am I doing? LOL

Cheers!

17. I concur with you here. Thoughtful perspective, and I Thank You for sharing that.
As for an Iconoclast, I am not sure, but as a Class Act, I think you are right on schedule. ;)

Cheers to you too. :hi:

Take that to the bank.

10. No way mass civil disobedience happens here. Americans are too soft and deluded to risk
the few crumbs the elite allow us by directly and seriously challenging the powers that be.

Until many more of us are willing to use any means necessary to bring about change, change will not occur.
