It is truly nauseating to examine the looking glass through which we have fallen.

I know it's there, and I'd just as soon acknowledge it without looking at it. The times when I do look at it, and I see the lens and its curvature, and see how it has distorted things and brought us to a place that is insanely removed from what rational, clear-headed people would ever want for themselves and for their children, I get a bit woozy. Nauseated.
