Ot hit me while reading Applebaum's book that I sometimes feel like Im living in an occupied country. What I mean is, what else would inspire individuals to associate with any of the "Occupy" movements but a sense that we as a nation need to take back from an another broader invasion --- in other words, it's not really so much about fenced borders anymore. The real occupied domain ranges along a line that defines power, how many persons can be successfully controlled by one person or a group. The occupied territory I speak of is the will of, and the information available to, the short-lived masses who bare the real physical burden of "productivity"! And this gives rise to a temperament often described with "[...]words like vacuum, emptiness[...]". Does not the destruction of our economy yield the sense of a failed defensive system?! Are we not compelled to kneel before this insidious enemy which has extorted the sanctity of even our supposed patriotism!? I say we do comprehend fully the danger already within or "borders!
