The Fog Rolls In ...

At work.

Looking around these days, it seems that everything, including the air around us, lacks transparency. As I look across the lake, the trees in the distance are cloaked in an unnatural film of muck, and as I search the internet for campaign finance records, I find only the haze of an oppressive summer day in Manhattan. Where did we get lost along the way? When did this fog roll in around us all, objectivity becoming an impossibility? When all one wants is an answer, where does one look? Code, spin, disinformation, misinformation - the Big Lie, wrapped in a bow, labeled the Truth. Whether it's published campaign fundraising records, or the White House Press Secretary explicitly contradicting himself with no remorse, the Answer is shrouded in bullshit. The tendency of society has shifted - tolerance for the Big Lie has superceded tolerance for each other. When the fog finally lifts, I'm convinced the collective shock will be so great, and reality so hardly believed, trust will be rendered to some abstract concept practiced by some ancient brotherhood civilization eons ago.
