Left Behind

  I highly recommend this article. The people that need to read it the most, of course, won't be reading it. Yet, it's helpful.

You can only read it if you have a subscription online to the NY Times or get the paper.

Crap, it's a good story. The young man is I believe a relative of David Duke and grew up in a white nationalist environment. He went to a liberal college and little by little, slowly over time, his values and ideas changed as he was exposed to other ways of thinking. A lot of it came from his classmates talking late at night in the dorms and such. He had up to that point thought of himself as being someone who was simply expressing the truth and who was wholly correct. He points out that it's a one on one approach just as he experienced as the way out of that type of maze. It's actually a powerful story.

Watching Westworld are you? Arnold's game cuts deep friend deep. The people who have bought into what was up until recently FOX world now TRumplandia are buried deep into its maze and most don't want out! They want to force the rest of us in. Resistance will be viewed by them and BIGLY BROTHER ( AKA as DONALD J. TRUMP) as treason soon.

I'm lightly watching Westworld lol - it's a little creepy for me. But yes, we are entering Westworld aren't we.
