Why turn this into an indictment of society as a whole? Honolulu and Chicago are the most corrupt cities in the United States. It’s not even close. And yet the people who live here still love Hawai‘i for what it REALLY stands for. Paradise lost — but still preserved as best possible — under the global financial elite empire with what was once 95% of the world’s military might. That “ignorant populace” you refer to was once the most literate populace in the WORLD.

It took Western society and ideals — the most important pillar of which is known today as “public education” — to dumb it down to a ‘thought process’ that is a relic of post-industrial revolution “expertise.” Google is Silicon Valley’s deal with the same devils so that SOMEONE is watching “them” with the same scope they're documenting and profiling us — and without the aid of an “Edward Snowden” to spoon-feed it to us "heathens."
