15. "How did we get here?"

Mon Nov 4, 2013, 11:10 PM

Nov 2013

I've been seeing this term in a lot of posts.

1. No one was paying attention

2. A few people with the ability extrapolate long term event situations (no this is not a trick, most of the population thinks short term gain and can't perceive long term effects) are called tinfoil hat wearing hair on fire Democrats and cease their warnings. Time passes and people ask "How did we get here?"

3. Most of the population is asleep.

4. All the lighthouse keepers got fed up with all the bullshit raining on them and left.

c. Naaaa, I must be smokin dope.

But I do like the "how did we get here?" part. Sometimes reflection reveals secrets in plain sight.
