"Yep. Most often the evils that prevail, start slowly, subtle in nature, so as not alarm the average joe or jane on the street. Mustn't allow the snake out of the bag to soon. All things must be carefully staged and timed."
Agreed. Like the panther in the woods in a way---tread carefully quiet until you get close enough to pounce. The thing that is a little different from the panther is that really, we can see what they are doing. We don't react for a variety of reasons in the early stages. We say it's logical such as: the problem is too small now, a reaction is not warranted. However, we are slowly walking down the road of being intimidated without realizing it (like they say you can boil a frog by increasing the heat gradually and by the time he realizes he's in trouble he's already too cooked to respond).
It reminds me of the time I was walking down the street behind a couple other guys having a quiet conversation, I wasn't paying much attention. Suddenly, the one guy, a much smaller Asian guy, took a couple steps back and started shouting at the first guy at the top of his lungs. The other guy, a pretty large white guy, muscular but also fat, had apparently been "working in close and quiet" with this guy and gradually getting ready to intimidate him, somehow. As soon as the Asian guy realized it, he stepped back---helped neutralize the big guy's strength advantage and reduce the possibility of being trapped in some kind of grappling battle---and cranked the volume up to the maximum. The white guy collapsed quite quickly---no way was ready to deal with this and he clearly underestimated his potential foe.
Let us hope enough young Amerians despite their rather silly new fads and ways of learning etc., will see the dangers clearly in the years to come. And be willing to take a stand when they start to get scared $hitless that things do not seem to be what they at first appear, and move to the right, to at least diminish the dreams of the far left liberal/socialist movements, in their vast array of slightly differing forms.
