#1 that has already made its peace, however subconsciously, with a horrible conclusion.

But for whom?

#2 Good question given the current state of public discourse in America but I have a sneaking suspiciion that if it came down to a choice between "us or them" we'd suddenly find an overwhelming majority more than willing to actively support our side of the conflict.

#3  But for whom?

The answer is inherent in the question. Hint: it isn't us, because that would interfere with the soccer carpool.

#4 It's left them disinterested in the final consequences to the societies in which the chanting mobs appear. They don’t care.

Meaning if they got "Prejudicially Terraformed" we wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

#5 Mike, I don't know how you arrive at any conclusion without a few paragraphs on how and why our media bullshits the shit out of us daily, tirelessly, and relentlessly. If it were possible for us to drop a crow bar into the MSM operational gears and bring them to a sudden halt, an additional 30 percent of Americans would awaken to the truth about the world on the same day. That would have an impact on our behavior and on our worldview.

#6 WX,

I don't know. Sort of the Parable of the Cave. Some people just don't want to know. "Can we please stop talking about Iran and Korea and WMDs so I can go back to reading about Lindsey Lohan's breasts?"

#7 Last photo I saw Lindsey Lohan's back and skin looked like an 80 year old's with skin cancer!

Seriously - write her off!

#8 Steve,

You may consider the term "prejudicially terraformed" stolen.

#10 Everyone w/a clue knew end game after the 2nd jet hit the WTC - we give them their shot, they fail, not our problem.
