Had some family over for a barbecue, and heard some talking politics and "news". Saddens me to hear that they are still asleep and not seeing the bigger picture. Not connecting the dots or understanding anything. I tried to slide something in here and there, but they've been so fractured by their "news" and media that only one thing will wake them up... a scare event. It truly is necessary.

It's disheartening to see the hold that is upon some people, especially family.
