That we are presently walking around dressed as a nation of shoppers and TV heads is a tragedy of appearance, but it is not yet a tragedy of substance. Different people awake at different times, but wakening, like hypnotism, is contagious. And we are very used to thinking of ourselves as free, and capable of deciding issues.
