The mainstream media continually spews lies and propaganda. That is their main objective. They never report anything of value or anything remotely resembling the actual truth of what's really happening in the worldor even the universe for that matter. The people that control the media decide what is news to you. And therefore, if you allow it, they'll own your mind. 

Then factor in that liberals will believe anything. Especially if it looks and smells like utopia. And conservatives will act in accordance with antiquated texts out of concern for what the imaginary man might think. Fear is everywhere, and it more than permeates society. The stench of it is worse than a rotting corpse. Now drones light up the night sky adding to the distraction and confusion. The modern world appears to be doomed. 

But alas, there is hope! For those that possess logic, common senseand the knowledge and ability to use an abacus, they will be the ones to survive. They will be the ones to carry on humanity and replenish what was once lost. Long live humanity! Long live the abacus!
