What happened?

I am not perfect.  I love people, for the most part, and I do give people the benefit of the doubt, but there is something definitely wicked going on, and I believe that the main source of it is television.  Maybe the conspiracy theorists are right.  If one takes a look at the history of totalitarian societies, especially Nazi Germany, (because there is a lot of writings available ), there are many interesting similarities.  Oh yes, before I forget, I have not perfected the art of gently explaining to someone that they are brainwashed, because I am still learning and collecting data.  God is still showing me what is of necessity in order to process this all.  This all started some time ago, when I began doing something that did not occur to me to try for many, many years:  I began praying and meditating  in earnest.
