If we keep playing the games we are presented with, we will only get the way that the Status Quo have utilized in order to get us to give up more of what we have in exchange for more of what they want from us in a way that makes us believe and think we are gaining from that deal.
If you look at what is going on and how many people are in poverty, falling into it, or who are losing their middle-class status tot he winners in the game of capitalism then the time has come to get into a new game that is empowering and will decide, definitively to utilize, one and for all, the vast amount of wealth and technology we have amassed for the benefit of everyone and no longer, in any way shape or form, without exception, for just a few.
The wealthy are either going to pay for the new world that is possible and accept that as their responsibility, or we may all go down together in a massive fireball that will, in the end, amount to nothing but a natural destruction based on ignorance how how things are. We do have so much at stake that all the rhetoric and manipulation really grows weak and vacuous in respect to the real and concrete aspects of life as it is.
