I notice when I go to the mall.. some are sitting there like zombies and they aren't shopping. I think that they just want to get out of the house, If they still have one.

Zomibes at the mall? Maybe someone should make a movie about that. Oh wait, they already have. Twice.

It's as though we (the people) were running from the "authorities" (our ruling class (rc), though we still mostly haven't realized it) in a desperate car chase, and we just ran over the tire deflating device deployed by the authorities... That "spike strip" was a group of people (Shrub, Rummy, Condo, Dick "Drakul", and their NeoConniving friends). They just blew the tires off our nation (as well as blowing the engine, ruining the suspension and transmission, and smashing/wrecking the body/paint/lights etc). The thing is, they are driving our car (or nation/economy/foreign relations/future/etc)--as well as chasing and trying to destroy it! We're just the passengers! To make matters worse, in spite the already catastrophic damage, they're continuing to try to run--driving on the spark spewing steel rims, when we need to stop to make repairs--which isn't much of a possibility. Though the passengers are beginning to grow disillusioned, and might hope someone votes the bastards out of the driver's seat, they control the minds of many of the passengers and have the vote "fixed". Did I mention that the drivers also own the only car repair shop and car dealership in town? Thus, they profit from the catastrophe while we're about to re-discover walking everywhere we go. So onward--to oblivion we go.

I see. This DUmmie's brain is where metaphors go to die. We're running from the authorities in a car that they are driving? Huh? They own all the auto repair shops and car dealerships? What about the Quiznos? Can we stop for a hoagie or is that run by "the authorities" as well?

No, Quiznos is owned by a family named Carmichael. That's why they have a sandwich called a 'hoagie'.

Just kidding!

I think it's a sort of "Terminator II" kinda thing, where Condi from the future is trying to destroy Colin Powell in 2002, with assistance from Dick Cheney from the present.
