10. The catharsis of distraction has always
had a special place in this country. People are chanting, "USA!" over and over. That's what is wanted and needed to bond them to the corporatism neurologically. Pavlov would agree.

Why not just let people enjoy it for the moment when a person they have learned to hate is declared dead? It can serve to be symbolically moving when it is clear that concrete realities are not going to change for the better and the slope will be getting more slippery.

So, on with the "wars" and more power to the MIC. The "defense" contractors won't be losing any sleep over their profit margins because of this. In fact, any "ramping-up" on the war of terrification will be easy to justify, fund and further, now.
