The Great American Trance and The Next Osama Syndrome

It’s always encouraging to see a lot of people respond to an article posted on a site known for good thinking and smart readers.

This one seems to have created quite a ruckus. Some of the folks got it. Some of the folks demonstrated it. The article is about  fear, how it’s marketed, how we are swimming in suggestion, the threat of the mediocracy we live in and what we might be able to do about it. Interestingly, the part that upset so many people was when I mentioned the “G” word (God). Go figure. And that’s on a conservative think tank!

Some people strongly disagreed that we have a few issues with rage and entitlement in this country. I chose this picture for them.
