Overwhelmed by mass mediocrity

Sorry for not keeping up -- it's just not possible, these days. The amount of wrong-headed policy and regulation being output by the state's officials is so large there's just not enough to time to point it all out and comment on it. I often think of just throwing in the towel. People are just too into their own individualistic pursuits to bother noticing that they are being turned into a society of willing slaves by oligopolistic groups in power.
