Anyone remember Zardoz? [View all]
That was John Boorman's sci-fi movie from the 70's. In the movie, the elites lived behind a secure shield and developed a religion for those outside of it - savages and Brutals. Periodically their god Zardoz would deliver weapons to the Brutals to use for control of the population. It was a crazy movie but prescient.
Our 1% has not taken a stand for control of weapons of war on our streets. They could exert their power for a more sane society but where are they? Making money off of these weapons. The republicans are not just appeasing the gunner votes, they are serving the financial interests of their holy 1%. Our Congress makes sure the financial security of the weapons sector is protected and I might add that the gunners parsing the labels of guns - assault weapon or not, etc. - are using the talking points that have been fed to them from this financial sector.
We are all being played for fools as were the Brutals in Zardoz.
