The Boiling Frog Syndrome |
|
My mom and I were discussing America's general ignorance and submission to all things fascist and it reminded me of the Boiling Frog Syndrome, where if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water it will jump like hell to get out. BUT if you put it in a pot of lukewarm water and let the water slowly come to a boil, the frog will just sit there and let itself be boiled to death...just like the numbed and dumbed American public.

This is absolutely what is going on now. I personally am thinking about the temperature of that water all the time. But everyone else I know is watching reality television...
