TY Carrie. One if not the biggest problem is how few people know the true history of this nation. The things people tell me are essentially a patchwork media soundbites and visuals. . .it's very sad. eg. I have found one person out of hundreds who could tell me who Frances Perkins was. And, no one knew that Henry Ford had the largest private security team in the world that intimidated anyone trying to join a union. The same is true of Current Affairs and Civics. Not one person can explain how a filibuster works and most don't know what one is. And most people do not know even a handful of local, state and federal elected and appointed officials and/or what they do. It is a deeply sad state of affairs. We are in a slow brew political coups...hope enough people wake up and/or pull heads out of the sand so we can put a stop to this stupid nonsense! Here's to hoping. . .with emergency preparedness kits all ready! :)

"Propaganda is as powerful as heroin; it surreptitiously dissolves all capacity to think.” ―Gil Courtemanche

“In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable—what then?” ― George Orwell, 1984
