The Quisling Effect
We've all heard about the frog in the kettle. Turn the heat up under him gradually enough and he'll sit there until he boils to death. It's become the most common metaphor to describe our gradual loss of freedom. We never ask, "Who's turning up the heat under us froggies?" because the answer is so obvious. It's government, of course. And it is. But there's something else that's causing the heat to rise and freedom to evaporate into air. It's going on in all three stories above and in daily life around us. Call it the Quisling Effect.
