Up. Identified. Lase. Fire. On the way.
For your consideration:

A few years ago, I thought it was time to retire George Orwell’s 1984 to the attic. My years of teaching literature convinced me that Huxley’s Brave New World was more likely to unfold: a world in which an elite might control the rest of us through the erasure of history and literature, but who might also pacify common citizens through the diversions of sex, drugs, and electronic entertainment.

I was dead wrong.

I think it's fascinating, watching these dystopian books play out in real life. Remember reading them in 8th or 9th grade and thinking they were so sci-fi and could never happen?

Welp, here we are!

That's the way of the world and the way it's always been since there were more than three humans on the planet. We have always been controlled by the masters of the universe. We always will be. The best we can do is not allow them to get too powerful, but it's stunning how many Americans rillyrilly want to have unfettered overlords.

Benjamin Franklin said:
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
