1. IMO, it is the same "game" that

America plays with it's citizens.

It seems that even the basic rights outlined in the "Magna Carta", centuries ago, are considered "far left assertions." How can people be so conditioned in their life views so that what was once considered basic humanity is now considered extravagance meant for the wealthy?

Propaganda is a much stronger weapon than I ever imagined.

2. The movie 'Brazil' keeps coming to mind.

In that sci-fi scenario, as for personal liberties, all is lost. I remember watching it as child and feeling thankful that our enlightened society was utterly immune to this kind of mind control.

And, yet, here we are.

I'm gonna watch it again this evening.

3. Hey, can I get some more coffee over here?

I guess you got to do an interview when and where you can get it. An hour later and we would be hearing the other stalls in the bathroom flushing.
