Wake Up America - The Matrix Has you

You know, I read over Toe’s “America, Polled” article the other day and got sick to my stomach with some of those poll numbers… Be it “Rock n’ Roll has a negative effect on culture” or the fact 20 percent of those polled thought civilian deaths in Vietnam were a rare event, or perchance the 3 percent of those polled that thought “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire” needed easier answers… The fact is those numbers show an America with a closed mind, vastly limited scope or just plain wacko.

Couple that with the relatively high approval rating that still exists with G. W. Bush and the fact Republican supporters (I don’t feel the term “Conservatives” really applies for the republican party under this administration - they are morally conservative but they have no morals in capitalism or politics) turn a blind eye to what’s going on with politics in general and the propoganda machine that has been running since 9-11 and I just can’t help but think of Morpheus in The Matrix…

“You’re living in a dream world…”

As one who is on the progressive side of the fence with my political views, I feel like one of those freed from the Matrix and having to fight against the Machines in order to make things right again. I feel like Politicians in general right now are agents and either a citizen who remains in ignorance about the wrongs in America is an enemy up until their mind is freed, because those Agents and politicians will use them through their propoganda to support their own personal means.

“Wake up, America, the matrix has you.”

“Knock, Knock, America…”

When is it going to end? How is it going to end? It’s not as simple as just waking up Americans to what is going on, it’s got to be another jarring event that forces eyes open to see the wrongs. Why? Because too many people turn away when they hear something they don’t like, stick their fingers in their ears and chant “LA-LA-LA, I’M NOT LISTENING!”

The Matrix truly does have America, and unfortunately no one seems to know how to just unplug them from the system.
