Ah, the good old days.  I remember freedom of speech like it was yesterday ...

Whatever happened to that anyway?

You know, all of this reminds me of Rhinoceros by existentialist
Romanian playwright Eugene Ionesco.  Here's a quick synopsis:

Berenger - an average citizen in a nameless French city - is not
interested in the fact that rhinoceros are on the loose in the
streets. This causes him to quarrel with his friend Jean and his
attractive secretary Daisy outside a grocer's shop. The argument
continues with many locals joining in - these include the grocer and
his wife, a waitress, a housewife, a cafe owner, an old gentleman,
another waitress and a logician.

The group try to reason the events that are happening around them, and
the results are understandably chaotic.

In the local government office where Berenger works he witnesses staff
gradually turning into rhinoceros.

Eventually Berenger finds out that Daisy and he are the only human
beings left. To his surprise Daisy too turns into a rhinoceros.
Berenger concludes he will then fight alone against all of the
rhinoceros...


So: 50% of the population are not currently rhinoceros, but 50% are. 
Are those of us left like poor Berenger?
