The problem with America is the *same* problem we
have all discussed ad nauseum here with regard to
the TM movement. People are much more attached to
their fantasies of things than they are to the
reality. They want to believe in the myth of the
TM movement, and deny for years or decades the
things about it that they don't want to see.
It's the same with voting irregularities, and the
loss of civil rights, and the rigging of elections.
Americans are *attached* to their myth, in a way
that the people of most other countries are not.
They simply cannot bring themselves to admit that
many of the mythical qualities of "America the
Beautiful" that they were brought up with are
simply not true. So they just put their intellects
on cruise control and hope for the best, while
people who have no such illusions *take advantage*
of the myths to control them.
Global warming *will* have to get so bad that the
people are up to their asses in garbage before
anyone really does anything about it. That is the
nature of the beast. Elections will continue to
be stolen until in one of them a Republican corpse
is elected instead of a live Democrat. People are
just *not* going to stop believing in the myths
that sustain them. They will believe in them
despite any evidence.
I really don't know how all of this is going to
turn out, but...duh...that's one of the main
reasons I live in France and not the US. The
place is in for some very hard times, and its
citizenry is so locked into cult myth-think
that they're really not about to get off their
butts and DO something about it. To do so means
that they have to admit that the myths are not
true, and I think that we've all seen how likely
that is, just by watching the vagaries of the
TM movement.
