They have virtually eliminated very humourous and clever colloquialism. In the late 70's and early 80's the Media Elites were making very noticeable inroads into Propaganda. Fran Schaeffer and C. Everett Koop appeared in Seattle to speak about Moral Absolutes and Universals. 4000 plus entered into the evening with anticipation to listen to Truth. They were not disappointed. It was brilliant. Outside 12-20 (my recollection) protestors walked in a tiny circle outside the building. The News report for the nite was a short interview with a protestor (I knew her then). Profound truths are daily left unspoken. The Media has blinded us with their Hidden Agenda. The Elite are moving for total domination. Control of information throughout History has led to unspeakable violence toward the citizenry.

And, no wonder. We are in a society where Freedom of Speech means that speech that is "appropriate" is free (otherwise, disallowed), Freedom of Religion means that as long as you don't practice any religion, you are free NOT to do so, and Freedom of Assembly means that approved gatherings will be tolerated. I honestly never thought that the repression could be so complete, so seemingly soon. It really wasn't that quick, but the groundwork was laid long ago. It was helped along with the unwitting assistance of the educators, who enjoyed the increased "professionalism" of today's educational establishment (but, sadly, with lower scores).
