I call BS: "...human beings will insist on being informed..." Sorry, not sorry.
Most human beings insist on being coddled, especially when scared. The Blob via the MSM has, and will continue to produce fear-porn.
Otherwise, I like your view through that rose-colored shot glass bottom. Hope you enjoy a Happy New Year and we all get to enjoy another year of your posts!

Absolutely. And lied to. I watch in horror as people on NextDoor clamor for MOAR video surveillance because so-and-so's house got egged or someone else got ding dong ditch doorbelled, or whatever they call it. So ridiculous. People have become coddled little wimps who can't take care of themselves.
Yup. It wasn't until the MIL moved in that I had the epiphany. I had always just dismissed it as the "Bread and Circuses" mundanity of the masses [h/t Mel]. Life in fear paradoxically makes people feel secure in their insecurity and that inures them to a manipulative Narrative(TM).
NOTE: Pretty sure that last sentence is on a PPT slide somewhere at Langley.
It reminds me of back in the day, I was hanging out at a blues bar, chatting with my friend who owned it, and he just randomly picked up two of those square amber 70s-era ashtrays, held them up over his eyes, and sang, "B-b-b-Benny and the Jets." ROTFLMAO
You know, for as "flamboyant" as Elton John is, he's an incredible talent, as a singer/songwriter/musician - a triple-threat as the music industry calls such artists - his style so genuine, he's a genre of his own - a legend.

"rose-colored shot glass bottom"
LMFAO!!!!
+1 for including the ever-present, close-to-your-heart expletive, and the enthusiastic delivery.

He's also ahead of his time - the tip of the spear (no pun intended) - in the "pick-any-name-you-want" game that's so popular today.
Hmm...Reginald Dwight? Boooring...call me Elton's John. No...Elton John...yeah that's it, Elton John.

Human beings will insist on being entertained. Fixed it for you.
