This implies that those born before this generation are
somehow unaffected. I was raised in the 1950s.
There are things I do not say or do now that rated
so second thought while I was growing up. What is
happening is happening through societal controls and
is happening to all of us, young and old.
Think of the Pioneer satellite. When it was launched,
it was state of the art. But the state changed. Amazingly,
through the magic of uplinks and radio transmission, the
computer of Pioneer was capable of being reprogrammed
in flight. The satellite launched years ago is billions of
miles away, and yet is quite different from the machine
that disappeared into the skies way back when.
In short, if it's not too late for that, this is not an
aberration. The entire society is at risk to
murder and terrorism because we have trained
ourselves to believe that the defense of our
lives and property is better left to the state.
