Point of View
The cereal itself is a mixture of mashed maize (corn) and syrup. Pieces are shaped to resemble treasure chests, although some would argue that their shape more closely resembles bed pillows.
Cap'n Crunch is well-known to cause minor lacerations to the roof of the mouth and gums. This is likely due to the hardness of the cereal and the sharp edges formed when it is crushed during chewing. After eating Cap'n Crunch, one tends to notice a roughness or redness of the hard palate, even bleeding, which some have called "Cap'n Crunch Mouth".
Despite its famous tagline, Cap'n Crunch actually becomes soggy rather quickly in milk when compared to other breakfast cereals.[citation needed]

As the case of Ronald Reagan amply demonstrates, in this age of mass-media, people do not want and cannot tolerate being ruled by humans. They want to be ruled by myths. Mythological rulers are more appealing, more effective, and ultimately more cost effective for all. They transcend the straightjackets of 'objectivity', 'consistency', 'honesty', and 'ethics' that hampered previous non-constructed leaders. Actual politics is quite boring and will not satisfy the current generations of television and internet-saturated entertainment consumers. Expecting these consumers to have any working knowledge of history (or even the present) that will allow them to differentiate 'fact' from 'fantasy' is far too much to ask. Anything with a semantic content more sophisticated than People Magazine is difficult and disturbing for the average American.
By 1980 the transfer to a completely fantasy-based system of political economy was complete when Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United States. The purposely fantastical and delusional actions of the government caused the fall of the Soviet Union when the Russian government realized they could not compete with the sheer entertainment power of the United States. The United States' systematic program of voluntary, incentive-based stupidification was far more successful than the Soviet Union's program of forced, involuntary stupidification.
