2. Oh, why not?
This is where we are at now, ey?

Privatize everything. That is the "ownership society". Their will be owners and the owned, and nothing else, in the long-run. Neo-Serfdom is the logical outcome. You work and work to make enough for yourself and the larger part of what you produce goes to the Lord of the land. In essence, you pay to be where you are and pay to work for the Lord. We are getting closer to that reality and like, "you are lucky to have a job", (no matter how bad the conditions and pay are) it might turn out that people will be thankful for this exchange if we allow it to keep going there.

We are already living along those lines as corporatism dominates our government, information, and the products we use and need. The pesky idea of representational government and commons is on the brink of dissolution on the horizon of obsolescence. By distraction, apathy and divisive issues, we are voting for the outcome.

I will say, adamantly, if we do not come together to garner a mutual will to throw-off the corporatism that is the real terrorism in its relation to our essential safety and security as free and valued beings on this planet, then we are not going to see much of anything uplifting or hopeful or of value in our futures. We are on the cusp of a dire need for change that, hopefully, will become so self-evident that the process will emerge organically in a way that corresponds to the most imminent and certain threat before us all.
