2+2=5?

We are a complacent populace here in North America. Although we know that two plus two does not make five; we still do nothing to try and bring the truth out into the light. We are armchair cynics with short attention spans. We don't have time to pay attention because we are too busy distracting ourselves.  We are addicted to distractions. We love them. We would do anything to keep ourselves from actually thinking about the reality of life and the state of our world (let alone actually getting off our couches and doing something about it). The human race is heading down a disastrous path blindfolded with a veil of complacency.  Our inaction will manifest itself into our shackles.
