ZeFrank says it very well

"a small number of people can incapacitate a society by leveraging our inability to understand risk"

This is exactly how it works. Many of us work in industries where the goal of the business is to alter people's perceptions of what's best for them. Me? I might be closer to the actual process than most - so perhaps it's easier for me to recognize when politicians are using tricks to distort situations so they can profit. I'm becoming less and less convinced that a Farenheit 451 world is an unrealistic scenario - and rather than fight it - it really makes me want to move.
