>it's worse than you imagine
i doubt it.
what would happen if they knew? i think people would get used to it in about 5 years.
of course the govt thinks that the people would revolt. they would. they just think that the revolution would destroy the country, when in reality, it would probably more than save it. it's an inevitability, the delay, the strength of the delay is the only difference. governmental politics as far as history is concerned is the development of evermore clever methods of pulling the wool over people's eyes. that they'd be freer, happier, see clearer without this occlusive wool is obvious to any individual. the idea that we were anything other than individuals to begin with, well.
