“To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level.”
Bertrand Russell

More people today than ever before are more interested in American Idol or their favorite sports team than they are in maintaining their freedom. I fear the next great dictator will be a person who takes over the U.S. This person will need nothing more than to promise the masses that everyone will have a big screen T.V, new car and free living.
People will bow to this figure and give their allegiance openly and without reserve. They won't even ask why am I getting this from you, what do you want in return?
Like the Devil, asking for your soul for a small miracle or material good.
It's scary to think this way but someone has to.
Cheers,
Mike
