To me, that's scary. Lots of scary shitake out there. 2000 years ago the Romans were suckered and distracted by "bread and circuses." Orwell's 20th century version works too. "War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery Ignorance is Strength (bliss)." (and keep 'em distracted by lotteries, shortages, pornography, and sensationalized media.). Distractions. More crawlers, more booming base sound effects touting Wolfe's latest "just in," "stay tuned." More chocolate Jesuses; red & blue states, red alerts, if it bleeds it leads.... Keep 'em distracted and the 2% Inner Party will always thrive. "Network" redux: _Click here: Network (1976) - Memorable quotes_ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074958/quotes) And so it goes....
