They went about their day much like they did the day before. And the day before that. Little changed. Glued to the media in any form, they were continually aghast. They followed blindly into the Vietnam War, trusted Congress and their President. They bought the September 11th disaster and sent innocent people off to harm's war. Again. Even built the costliest military ever. The latest and greatest of armaments. The infrastructure at home continued to fail. We sent our jobs overseas.
People were laid off in droves. The unemployment rolls didn't tell the full story. They only told what they wanted us to know. Never accounting for all the people who had exhausted their unemployment benefits, or the people who just gave up.
Heads of major financially struggling corporations sent their executives to Congress, many of whom flew in company as they cried poor mouth. They bailed out the corporations, even allowed incompetent CEO types to have million dollar bonuses. Senseless murders group style occurred at an unbelievable frequency. Congress who can't seem to get anything done is now talking banning weapons. A country gone mad?
It just doesn't fit. No jobs, no guns. Control the people and you control?
