The general public, that appears to be so dumb so much of the time, is very astute when it comes to the crunch. It is as though the collective intelligence responds and lifts its game in reacting to a challenge. People are prepared to tolerate the stupidity and untruths of the “authorities” when the system is functioning realtively normally; but as soon as the facade is slightly blemished, the masses show what they really think and feel about the assurances and platitudes they have been given.
