If you ask most people if they are under the influence of some form of social mass hypnosis or mind control, and they'll say, "No." Yet, if I start singing: "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale ... a tale of a fateful trip ..." over 80% of you will know the next line ... and you've never once studied it.
Ever wonder why you can't recall where your car keys are, let alone page 219 from your tenth grade science book, but you can instantly remember the lyrics to all of your favorite songs (while they are playing) ... and you never had to study a single line?
Ever notice how every news channels AP reeling ticker-tape at the bottom of the screen reads the exact same thing?
Ever hear of a school shooting before Columbine? And how many since?
Did you notice when the color of police uniforms changed from blue to black?
Can you see the security cameras and DUT towers being placed around you now?

About the police uniform color - dark blue was too difficult to match when blues needed to be replaced; indigo fades to different colors, depending on cloth. It had to be a dark color for safety so black (fades to gray) was the fallback color.

...and the ID chips that are now in our passports... Pretty soon they're going to close the world to travel.
