Aha! Are these the times in which such things as television
sitcoms, violent movies, political party manipulation, lower
astral indulgence, spamming mailing lists, slick advertising,
creepy cults, psychic 900 numbers, big print books written by
celebrities, legal and illegal drug addiction, sport hero
worship, rampant materialism and fast/junk food entrap humanity
in an abyss of illusion? Tied to the wheel of karma for what
seems like infinity? No way out of the game???
