In our world it's pretty difficult, if not impossible, to live one's
life in a way that does not depend on the exploitation of others. I'm
certainly as guilty as anyone but it seems to me that we should be
striving to eliminate it, not studying and applying better ways of
doing it.
I don't see a revolution happening any time soon. I was completely
astounded when I found out recently that the Bank of America is
a privately owned bank ! And the best thing that could happen for its
owners is a war since the US has to borrow money from it ! And if
anyone rises up they'll just turn off the taps, like they did last
century.
I'm with Charmed Snark, might as well go down laughing...
