Well put Aspasia, Writing for me has always been my alter-ego even as a preteen I wrote about the world around me, how I interacted in that world, the joys and pains I experienced in that world and then how I perceived that world should or could be...(although this lead to a dash or warpspeed beyond the clouds and into the stars of writing SciFi short stories. Dumped into endless scifi short story publishings,ers,ist,sites, orgs, nets and coms). Equally influential is for me a facination with observing people and how people engage their lives (add your own adjectives). For example I used to think that Americans were somewhat behind or stuck in the past in denial of progressive thought i.e fears of gays, race (mixed or unmixed), class religion (stirred or unstirred) or that asshole who keeps parking in your spot deliberately to piss you off.
While I still think that pov continues and as a writer who attempts to comment on that observation, it is now clear to me that people that is to say "The People" have been hypnotized into believing things, all kinds of things based mostly on watchingTV and are now entering a stage of psychosis which may manifest all sorts of disturbing isms, (BTW have you noticed what's going on over on the rightwing of the american eagle these days? Conservatives are splitting into factions faster then a chicken lays eggs in the hot humid and declared terror proof Houston sun. NeoCons, CC, SocialCons, BlkCons(ok forget that one), on and on. Whats next, ChaneyCons, BushCons, OilCons, WarCons, BorderCons, ChristianCons, JewishCons, YogaCons, Hey I'm a CaliforniaCon don't fuck with me dude. In SciFi movies recently there's been a trend like in the movie Men in Black they used a device to blank people's memory, in others humans are in a sleep state where a orderly world is created for them in their imagination. This may be socially indicative of this trance like state people are in.
Panic-lines: What does it all mean? Where is this all going? What can you do about this right away to wake people from this zombie like stateTHAT IS SPREADING ACROSS THE WORLD LIKE A DIGITAL PLAGUE!!!
I dunno... I guess its like you described "in the end it still boils down back to the writer"
They may be our last and only salvation....

Peace
