Good of you to drop in

periodically. Complacency is everyone's bugaboo - and you provide a livid example of the sort of mindset whose momentum may well prevail, if adults choose to remain flaccid and disinterested long enough.

The conceit of the True Believer has been diagrammed by everyone, Shakespeare to Eric Hoffer - yet, comfort is such a powerful drug that we relax vigilance, tolerate odious cant (now a daily part of every bizness conversation) and .. fall asleep repeatedly.

Keep up the good work, marlowe! You're the Best of the sorts of examples everyone needs not to forget. The Nintendo-Eloi are everywhere; fortunately though, popularity has nothing to do with sanity or maturity.
