You are not the America you think you are. You are the America paid for.<p>You have been divided and conquered, and it was not Russians, Muslims, or Chinese who did this to you.<p>You are no more capable of effective democracy than you are of truth, integrity, and respecting the entitled free will of others.<p>Everyone thinks the other side is the crazy, stupid, misinformed side.<p>Effective democracy is everyone’s crisis.<p>Believing a computer simulation could fix this is a sad cruel irony.
