Re: I'm rarely the optimist, but ... (none / 0)

control of information dispersal was always a critical weakness of us, the good guys. The internet, cell phones with cameras, etc. has changed that.

If WE want to change things for the better, then WE have to get off out fat rear ends and FORCE the power elite to change things.

That could get ... unpleasant, you say.

Hell, I'm already an old man. I really don't have that much to lose.

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.

I am a baby boomer so that means I am a child of the most frugal of American generations. My parents grew up knowing the depression and the Big One,WWII. They were successful and saved for their retirement only to have that sucked away by the engineered economic swindle of all times. Yes, it's already unpleasant.

Hail and Well met, Last. May we meet before the end. I'll be one of the folks with a bullhorn before I'm hauled off to rot in prison.

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.
