As much as I would want to say it was a deep spirituality that kept me away from the medical experiment, the real driving force was a pop culture reference.
You know why they put oxygen masks on planes?
- So you can breathe.
Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you take giant panic breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate. It's all right here. Emergency water landing at 600 mph. Blank faces. Calm as Hindu cows.
Something about that comment on airplane safety cards and the nature of propaganda made me very wary of the government efforts at compliance. The illusion of safety. When I saw the first posters around town, I had the same reaction Tyler had to those airplane safety cards. Something did not sit well and told me to avoid this at all costs. When it was about to cost me my position at work, I did consider J&J as a last ditch effort but as fate would have it, nothing could change the course I was on, so I stayed committed to be free of this poison. Couldn't do the same for my spouse. I pray it was placebo.
