The massive increase in background noise of recent techn-media - causes these to seem invisible - they have neither large breasts nor an angry demeanor and large gun collection to display for 15 min of infamy.

Just ask tseliot / R Brewer. Or habitat for Humanity folks. And I could name a few, as could you (these are the only ones ever worth remembering, as I look back). The rest once-met fade into the cliches of their soap-opera conversation. And being techno-literate has nothing to do with being literate - I have also observed this, since the first.

Yes, it's hopeless to 'wish' that some actual majority of the fat-dumb-happy would raise their sights. Stupid to Like-War-because: it gives us an excuse to win a competition and be #1 again.

But as we all know by now - it only ever is the 1% who do anything at all. What is troubling currently is the decline of the active alert minority, those who have served to keep the troglodytes from appropriating, in the Hog-in-Trough Game, even more.. all along.

Have these disappeared by inbreeding, merely fallen silent - or become so disgusted as to just watch, hope that 'we' receive the fruits of our ignorant behaviour? That attitude can come, at first via mere petulance.. in time that can be called resignation. (Those with children can afford neither conceit IMO)

Some folks feel a certain wistfulness, upon realizing they are actually witnessing clear decline. When you meet a few whom you deem 'wise' and who are also wistful.. it begins to sink in.
