Even when our predictions come to pass, they do so most times at such a slow pace and with such minimal disruption that no one seems to mind the changes. The Fabians were oh-so-savvy in choosing the turtle as their symbol, relying on the normalcy bias within most of the population to just sit there and shrug at the latest affront. Honestly, if the nation were stopped at the tracks by Jefferson's "long train of abuses", it would be generations before they saw the caboose, and then they'd cheer and go on their merry way! <br /><br />On the occasion that I offer up to others a dire prediction for ourselves or our posterity, I usually get the "I'll be dead by then" response, which succinctly sums up a candid look into the human condition, wherein those freedoms to be cherished turn out to be a sort of bargaining chip for the advancement of goods and services while the gettins' good.<br /><br />When will they wake up? Well, let’s look at the now defunct Soviet Union. The people there would sit around their ramshackle abodes, wallowing in paranoia, listening to the latest promises and 5-year-plans over their radios and TVs, if functioning, and head out to stand in long lines for the occasional nonspecific freebie. The whole thing came crashing down and STILL there were those who wanted it back. As Gerry Spence put it, "Faced with the pain of freedom, man begs for his shackles." Better the devil you know, right? <br />Brutushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885083535036422093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-53396796143797668262015-06-10T16:11:35.181-07:002015-06-10T16:11:35.181-07:00Jokers, or Cassandras.
