(15,435 posts)this continual "dumbing down" of a once great country! Been an activist for most of my life but no longer know HOW to fight this system! My last foray was with OCCUPY down here in Florida which turned into a FARCE! What's more our society seems to know so little about how this country runs. Most know NOTHING about the 3 branches of government for starters and it gets worse from there!
Was amazed to see some clips from people on the street who had no idea what Christopher Columbus's first name was! PATHETIC!
As a Boomer, don't know if I should be happy that I may not be around to see THE COLLAPSE coming, or cross my fingers and make a wish that somehow the massed will wake up from this living nightmare.
One thing I'm sure of is that I right now I don't think I would be making any positive bets! Because it causes me great anxiety I can no longer "tune into" all the chaos! Never thought I would get to this point where I feel totally useless!
I know there are those who don't see it my way, but try as I might I'm not seeing a silver lining these days!
