It's not really about anything anymore.
It is about how big your political dick is.
That's what we've been reduced to.

Chris Hedges wrote a teriffic book that went in to all this he titled

" The Empire of Illusion"

with the striking subtitle of " The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle "

pretty much sums it up.....I read it ages ago, but I think I may reread it now

Language has really been put through contortions in the last few decades, I'll say that.
