"What have we done, my fellow Coli citizenry, to reap the actions of the digital tyranny under which we live? When we log into our accounts, we assuredly sacrifice those traits that would define us as unreasonable neighbors, but within those actions do we also forfeit our Will of Life bestowed upon us by Divine Providence? Never were we asked about these alterations, nor were we ever made privy to the development of these agents of repetitious actions; once again history has provided the world a theater to view a showing of the ruling class' overreach, the disdain for their subjects notwithstanding. We also bear witness the unfortunate results to not only a populace kept blindfolded by the repugnant intentions of our overseers, but also a populace that has grown portly and lazy due to the satisfaction of its own superficial needs and wants. Revolution, ladies and gentlemen, may be at hand, but within our cowardly and preoccupied extremities it is not to be found, and it appears that redundancy rules the day as well as it does our courts."
