In 2020 America flipped upside down. It was a perfectly engineered push into darkness. And I don't hesitate for a moment in declaring that I noticed the transformation so much more acutely than did many people. I can say that so confidently, because I have been in a type of lockdown for the past nearly thirty-five years. Many of my regular readers know that I stopped watching tv in 1987. Oh sure, I will occasionally catch a DVD movie or a YouTube clip on a large monitor. Nevertheless, I haven't watched a cable or satellite or open broadcast network program in all that time. And during that self-imposed fast I have watched my fellow Americans become desensitized, like a herd of cattle, to real life. The very real devil has used the tv to perform a kind of lobotomy on people who have truly found their virtual reality in their television programs.
