Very nice, one of the most complete summaries on the subject i've seen.
The Matrix was a perfect intro for the subject matter, itself being an analogy (er, or is that a mataphor?) for what's going on at this point in human history.
The part on the education system resonated with me, i've always thought it bizzarre that parents willingly and blindly send their 5-6 year old children off to total strangers for hours each day, that they are forced to do so under penalty of law, and that no one simply says "No. I'm not going to do that."

By the end of the day the only person i can empathize with is the guy who snaps and shoots up the place.
