what movie did you last watch?

I'll have to check that movie out.

I have no doubt you will like Powder. It's pretty intense though, emotionally.

If an entertainer of some sort has a message that goes against that status quo and doesn't play by "their" rules, this is what happens in the music and entertainment industries.

This is certainly reflected in mainstream music and entertainment. But, we do have Indie music, which is really a great thing. And venues such as Pandora where you can publish music. I've actually been listening to Pandora since its inception.

Unfortunately for movie making and such, we now have entered a realm of unprecedented censorship on video sharing, such as Youtube deleting channels that don't agree with official narratives (due to Covid-19).

They have this ridiculous sex offender witch hunt against ordinary people while it's the elite doing it to the biggest extreme and not being punished. The "justice" system is a total shitshow.

I knew someone, who has now passed on from cancer, who was wrongly accused. He was put in a room for days without sleep and pressured by police with fear-mongering to confess to something he didn't do. He spent time in jail and went through the most degrading and awful system-BS I can't even relate it is so bad. And like you say, it's for life.

I've been in court enough times to agree to the "shitshow." I was actually escorted out of a courtroom once by security because I wouldn't allow a good-ole-boy judge to verbally abuse me without eventually giving it back.  Just one time, when I was representing myself against a ticket I did not feel I deserved, did I get a fair judge. He was young, and he actually listened before making a decision—and I won that case.

Also, just listening to that super bowl performance and looking at the mood and imagery involved...how the hell did we divert from that line of progress and end up in all this hate filled bullshit going on today?

I have asked myself this question many times. All I can think is that the controlling forces are holding tighter to the reigns, either because the population has so increased and/or some are "waking up," and the ubiquitous media is an effective tool (because so many are brainwashed by it). You can go back even further to the late 60s, and the hippie generation (huge amount of people) protesting against war, promoting love not separation, and rebelling against the establishment—that was over 50 years ago.
