It can also be robots take control... but this is not like in matrix, eagles eye or other fiction. This is too far away from now... whateva :-). It could be from Enemy of the States idea + other ones combined.
So, being afraid of what will come, will kill all of our joyce to live what we have to live.
What will be it will be. It matters what we can do, not talk.
Just DO!...
The rest is fiction :-)
And regarding his toons there, i can understand completly different from what he meant. But this is the beauty of writing or doing that...
As i do when post some photos and rarely hear what people say about them. I love that moment always. What other people see in something abstract or in a sport photo it gives me power to do more. I don't oblige people to see what i see... damn, life is so nice
cheers to all
