"Turning now to the results of our poll. 94 percent of you say the president of the United States should be speaking to large open groups as opposed to small captive audiences when ever possible."

This is great commentary regarding how close we are to facing reality.

Open discussion is out of the question. Someone might scream out a question about Cindy and Peak Oil: "Mr. President! Are you and Cindy going to meet to discuss Crude and Casey?" (Thank goodness freedoom is on the march.)
