All my life, from childhood, the unshakeable ominous feeling that there was something very dark and shadowy in the air; my parents and relatives with their 40 yard stares, as often as not, and their devotion to following the rules, compliance to all laws. Perhaps I sensed that they knew they were bowing to false authority, but they never said as much. The governmental timeline you describe would be what I would discuss with them, were they alive now. Perhaps my elder brothers and sisters would appreciate it. One never knows.

I can only say I was by 1967 on the road out of America. By 1977 drowning in it a confirmed cynical. By 1987 decided that resistance was the only choice and by 2007 found it hopeless and today accept the consequences of resistance are necessary for it to happen at all so hope against despair. My hope is outliving the madness wits intact.
