America Is Becoming a Bit More Liberal. That's Pretty Unusual Six Years Into a Democratic Presidency

98. Didn't say the peasants won, said it would have been a shootout at the OK country club

and not a Revolution without them.

But it seems we are getting bogged down in agreement.

I just doubt that any "revolution" is going to do much good. The truly wealthy see those as a moneymaking opportunity, pit their lapdogs against "them" and enjoy it like Stanley what's his name at the basketball game. And perhaps with faster Internet access than the people whose tragedy they benefit from.

I think that the people's tactics are wrong. I don't think relying on the wealthy to do what would be against their nature to do, again, and expecting a different result, again, is a good strategy.

The people, 99%, whomever, need to fix themselves, adopt as part of their culture the learning of how and why to take over assets and run them for themselves. Help each other, not the tyrant. That's how profit is made here, so find ways to disrupt it and change the flow to themselves, like any good business person, socialize what makes sense.

But if we could fix our broken culture and learn from places like Mondragan, or people la Boetie (quit helping the tyrant - he/she only has what you gave them, eh?)....we could...

snort. I'll wait for evidence that we aren't still burning ourselves up.
