Dumbed down and scared people do not want to know that these are the good old days, even some of us that are "awake" sometimes wish we didn't know. I have some friends that escape the reality by saying I accept what's happening, and then push it out of my mind because it is not my plan. Good solid activity to right things is the only solution. Things in motion tend to stay in motion. Watching MSM while sitting on mom's couch and scratching your crotch will work for you, until it doesn't and then it will be too late.
Things are as you pointed out, getting better. At least some are trying to face the truth and even trying to do something. All good action has a ripple effect, there is a chance that the fight for our lives will not be in vain. Much peace and goodwill.
