Yes, Burke had a solid
“cause and effect” diagnosis of the disease and it's toll. But how, exactly, would one go about dumbing down, repackaging Burke's view's into effective doses necessary to inoculate the ignorant masses in today's culture of flashy sound bites and hit and run narcissistic self absorbed sex sells greed based commercialized cesspool of a society we are drowning in? I think it's already too late to worry about it now. I have very little faith left in mankind.

Harry - I think that the only way some people are going to wake up is if they are hit with a clue by four. Disaster of some kind - everything that they are addicted to/making the center of their lives taken away. Fashion, gadgets, shopping, MSM/movie/etc crap all gone, etc. Then they will be face to face with their empty lives and empty hearts, and then their character will have to come to the fore.

I am sure that many are so determined to keep sleeping that nothing (in this life) will help them. “None so blind as he who doesn’t want to see”.

I do think disasters of one kind or another (or several in a row, or all at once, who knows) will wake some up. Not that I’m wishing for disaster. A healing crisis, maybe.
