Inside-Out, Upside-Down, Bass-Ackwards

When people begin equating strength with malice, equating reason with foolhardiness, equating justice with sentimentality, then things become the negative or reverse of their intended state. When "Liberal" (What Washington wished America to forever be) is attacked as "un-American", or states who march in lockstep behind sold-out corporatists brandishing crosses and flags (while trampling the Constitution) are referred to as "red", then apparently people in droves must be opting for the "Blue Pill".

Labeling the states "Red" and "Blue" is backwards today. In the "Matrix" movie series, the "Red Pill" signifies opening one's eyes to the truth, no matter how ugly that truth might turn out to be. Artists, Intellectuals and anyone else in the world who has chosen to look beyond the foolishness of American Television and other mainstream media can easily find deep truths that are daily ignored in the popular mindset by design of those who own the media. Those truths are unsettling. The "Blue Pill" in the "Matrix" movies denotes blissful ignorance. That's the one to take to enable yourself to continue to live atop a mountain of skulls, hurtling at 90 miles an hour straight for a brick wall, a lemming with all the awareness of an inebriated drunk who doesn't know he is freezing to death.

I would venture to say now that more and more Americans are beginning to take the "Red Pill". I certainly hope so. What a tragedy it would be to meet our end due to the inflicted stupidity known as "blissful ignorance".
