Bizarro World - Government Created and Approved

2. I'm sure you've seen this quote many times...

...and in fact, it says pretty much the same thing as your Huxley quote:

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." - Jiddu Krishnamurti

I remember when I first read that, many years ago as a young person, long before the internet. It made total sense to me, and helped explain why I felt I didn't quite fit in to the rat-race society that so many people I knew seemed so enthusiastic about.

Sometimes I see people who are caught up in the insanity and the rat-race, and I just have to shake my head. It's gotten so it's just boring trying to "argue" or "debate" or attempt to "convince" anyone any more. Plenty of people "get it" and others don't. Many never will. I suppose all we can really do is try to mitigate the damage done by those who will never "get it." At least for now. Until we build a better system, if that's possible.

There does, however, seem to be a backlash building against the insanity. OWS, "Black Lives Matter," etc. And each day, I see more and more stories about situations where people and society just won't put up with it anymore. Today it's Kirby Delauter and Cho Hyun-ah.
