The Whole Put-On Comments

Suppose, dear friend, that perhaps, just perhaps, reality is not exactly what it seems, that some agency whether human or superhuman (more likely elements of both) has put up a grand show to keep us distracted from finding out inconvenient truths, that we’re all dazzled by this ‘smoke and mirrors’ spectacle and have been (figuratively speaking) ‘nailed to our seats’, that is, conditioned to not be able to get a different angle on things. Of course, if you so much as suggest a thing like this you’re immediately exposed to ridicule, or not? Well, would you not pay the price of ridicule and do your best effort to divest yourself of the false assumptions that are holding you down (i.e., ‘go naked’) to try and pull the curtains and expose the ‘man’ running the show? Incidentally and in reference to one of the best works of fiction produced by your country, I’ve always thought that Toto (the staunch little pooch) was the real star in the old Oz story, exposing that phony wizard for the fraud he was.
