The Matrix Revisited

I am finally chillin' after a busy and sizzling day and looking at that opposing wall, that has a Matrix Movie Poster hanging on it. Besides the fact that is was a great movie there is one scene in it that I think is a remarkable symbol of our lives. I am talking about the scene where Neo is in that glass cocoon that is filled with liquid and he is hooked up to all those tentacles. In the movie the human body is used to feed energy into the Matrix. In real life the tentacles symbolizing all the good and bad responsibilities/entities that either drain or feed us. One big one would be the marketing machine that is trying to create needs we do not have, so we buy things we do not need, with money we do not have, to impress people we don't even like. 70% of the US economy is based on consumer spending. That is a very large percentage, which ties it to a must have healthy job situation. Otherwise things go south or stagnate.
