I live just north of Atlanta, in a relatively
cosmopolitan part of the Bible belt.  Very few 
people express opposition to President Bush or 
his policies.  Most people get very upset and 
confused when I question his actions.  

They are not conscious.

They believe what they've been taught, and
what they are told.  

They know the truth, without ever searching
for it ...

For years now, I have joined discussions like
this one, and every time I look at this question, 
I come to the same conclusion:  

     We have a problem of consciousness.

Either, change has to come from those at the top 
of the hierarchy, or through an awakening of the
masses.  

Comments welcome ...

Jay.

Society can be viewed as a multicellular organism, with individuals in 
the role of the cells. The network of communication channels connecting 
individuals then plays the role of a nervous system for this superorganism.
