Remember the 60's? Near the end of this decade the country was in turmoil. We were immersed in a war in Vietnam. Thousands of young men were being drafted and sent into the jungles of South East Asia. Television brought the war into everyone's living room. Protests were everywhere. Young people were skeptical of any form of authority. They were lined up to shout their discontent into the faces of the Fat Cats.
Fast forward to the present. The country is comatose. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan rage on but a huge part of them have been contracted out. Young men and women have to join the Armed Services because all the jobs have been relocated to China. Television brings us reality TV Shows about nothing, and made up news. Protests are now fun by grandparents with tea bags hanging off their hats. Young people are lined up to buy the newest cell phone. The Fat Cats have won by addicting the youth of today of the gadjetized form of SOMA.
