2. A Big Crash Leads to a Wake Up

In the story, no one believed Dr. Whovey when he said that there were unseen dangers around them. That unseen forces were gathering against them and wanted to do them harm. In the story, they are awakened to this reality as the black-bottomed eagle brought them to a great height then dropped them to their doom in a large patch of clovers. The following scene was of small Whos looking out windows and through rubble at a world in shambles.
"Dr. Whovey, Dr. Whovey, you were absolutely right", they said. "You warned us, and you warned us, but we didn't see the light. The things you told us all were true. If we only, only, only knew. Dr. Whovey, Dr. Whovey, from here on in, we believe in you".

Do you see the correlation here? Recently, the government took us on a ride. Because of laws allowing (more like encouraging) subprime loans, our economy was taken to great heights. And then, they let go. There was a crash unlike anything this generation has ever felt. Unemployment is somewhere between 10% and 20% depending on who you listen to. Entire states are on the verge of bankruptcy and our dollar is becoming more and more worthless. The funny thing is, there were several people that did warn us, and like Dr. Whovey, we didn't listen to them. In fact, many still don't listen to them. If this is not a big enough crash to wake us up, what will it take?
