[Infowarrior] - The Crisis of the Now: Distracted and Diverted

[Richard Forno]

(You certainly can replace 'police state' with any number of other things that modern society should be concerned about, such as "state of society" or "state of things" ... but aside from that, the items raised, and quotes used, are spot-on.  --rick)
