Our government is building a wall along the border with Mexico to keep illegal aliens out. Many Americans are happy about that and think it's about time.
But wait. Maybe the fence will keep us in when we want out. We live in a republic which has evolved into a democracy. (Plato said, "Democracies become despotisms.") The nation is looking more and more like an empire as we station soldiers in 120 countries, we go to war without asking the people's representatives for permission, the press is managed, the national debt is at least $10,000,000,000,000, terrorists are targeting us everywhere, the economy is in a dither, China has claims on the century, oil is headed for the stars while real estate sinks below sea level, our government pays corporations to move overseas, the soil is depleted of nutrients, businesses outsource white collar jobs, you have to press a button to use the English language, the currency you earn is the laughing stock of the world, and a good cookie costs ninety-five cents. Not only that, the government lies to us. What if they're lying about the border fence and plan to use it to keep us in, instead of aliens out?
It's all so simple.
