We have faced years of fear porn. "Be afraid. Be very afraid" has become the foundation of the babble that passes for 'news' today. Advances in technology have enabled the pervasive, relentless, omnipresent inundation of *FEAR*. All directed at gaining / maintaining control. So, "when it *really* "falls apart", the unfortunately large percentage of the population that has succumbed to the blandishments of the fearmongers may be left with *only* their fear. Not a pretty picture!
