Little wonder.

I’m suspicious of advertisers and politicians and the media. Of everyone. Trying to sell me a bill of goods. Primarily by using sound bites. Tailored to manipulate my mind. Of course, I put up resistance. But still, I’m swayed in subtle and unconscious ways. To buy this or that product. To vote for certain political candidates. And I too often fail to separate fact from fiction. Because I’m deluged with too much information (aka propaganda).  Yes. I’m frightened. Scared out of my wits. Because the grand manipulators have taken over the world. Often, without most of us having the slightest clue. Little wonder. That oddball Donald Trump is our president. We are being manipulated. To buy anything. Even the worst kinds of lies. -Jim Broede
