The Culture of Making You Always Afraid

This cover is from ... 1989.  I know you thought it was from last week, but no, it's from before I graduated High School.  And I'm old.  

Are you getting the drift yet?  The people who rule over us want us to be afraid.  They want us in a state of despair so that we will always be putting ourselves in check.  We will never be living our best lives, or starting things that will make our lives wonderful.  

Does that sound conspiratorial to you?  Does that bother you?  Perhaps you should look more closely at yourself.  The Time magazine cover is from 1989.  I didn't create it, and I'm not the one constantly keeping you on edge by creating a fake crisis.
