#1 The latest baloon rising from the media is that the "Occupy Movement" has been..."highjacked" by anarchists. Something akin to the 9:30 arriving B&O from Louisville being "highjacked" by the tracks.

#2 -- This situation has been in the works for over 20 years, and worsening year by year.
-- Doris Lessing's 1983 novel "The Sentimental Agents in the Volyen Empire" was a fun read that outlines this whole situation. Paraphrased/edited from Wikipedia: The novel is a social satire written in the tradition of Jonathan Swift and George Orwell, and focuses on the debasement of language in rhetoric. In Lessing's fictional universe nothing but propaganda keeps a threatened empire afloat. When the language used becomes too distorted, some members of society develop a species of insanity.
