Thanks Allan for your story from the Dr office - it's incredible how fearful people still are. Someone was commenting that if Hitler or Stalin knew our overlords captured the entire world based on a mild virus, they would have been super impressed.
I got my letter from Scotty today letting me know it's time for a booster! I think I'm way too far behind the program to catch up... so I'll just give it all a big pass.
I was brought up to respect our leaders, but no one told me that when I grow up they would be employing circus clowns to do the job. (and after the clown act they bring in the magician who will "astonish you all by making democracy disappear into thin air" - yay.... I want my money back!)
The totalitarian does not want to persuade us in an intellectual debate. The totalitarian does not want a debate at all. No argument, no thinking, no rationality, just obedience.
