FB QOTD-Morpheus by way of Occupy Cleveland

‎”You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”

- Morpheus

The best quote from my timeline today came by way of an Occupy Cleveland participant.  Word on the street is Occupy Cleveland has something big-ish in the pipelines, and the Matrix seems so applicable in America today, so I thought I would pass along some inspiration to the interwebs via video.

Would you follow the white rabbit?

MORPHEUS: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

MORPHEUS: Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?
