Perhaps if advertisers quit bandying the phrase "in this bad economy" about, the economy would stop being so bad.

Can a self-fulfilling prophesy be owned by a collective consciousness?

    The idea behind ruining our economy was always to exploit it.

    Now that we are frightened and hankering for the golden time we've lost, we're more easily plied - not only by advertisers. We'll tend to view anything that moneyfuckers say with less scrutiny and more hurried acceptance, as a collective. As a group, we're very, very, very stupid, like, *crazy* stupid.

      Because consequences for questioning it or getting out of line generally become more onerous every year.

      If the American people really WERE sheep, we wouldn't need so many motherfucking cops and and so much brute propaganda.

    The "self-fulfilling prophesy" is perpetuated by self serving self insulating lawyers we have allowed to be politicians. They have cut the head off and are feeding the neck, essentially giving "We The People" a bellyfull of bullshit.....
