Hello Joe,

>RC>We can expel the greedy bastards and replace them with new greedy
>RC>bastards.

>BF>Unfortunately I think you are right Ross.

"Greed is good." - Michael Douglas, in the movie "Wall Street"

>BF>Human greed will always beat social responsibility. But at least
>BF>we can make them pay on their way to yet another world domination
>BF>awaiting yet another revolution. That's about the way that it has
>BF>worked throughout human history.

JB>Revolution won't work. The big stuff won't happen until
JB>after Obama takes our guns, and believe me, he will take
JB>our guns. That in itself may cause a revolution, but only
JB>among a small percentage of true patriotic Americans.
JB>However, martial law will be declared at the same time and
JB>a Police State will be set up.

Don't get paranoid, Joe.  You'll still have your bow and arrows.

JB>Believe it or not, and this is easily researched, we can
JB>easily be overrun by armies of remote controlled robots.
JB>It's field tested and ready for use.

Robots?  Like the Terminator?  Geez.  Clones of Arnold Schwarzenegger
invading our neighborhoods.  Just in time for Halloween.

JB>I know this also sounds really crazy, but our military
JB>is trained to turn against us too.  During Katrina, when
JB>martial law ws imposed, a National Guardsman was asked
JB>if he would shoot a U.S. citizen refusing to relinquish
JB>his weapons.  The Guardsman said, yes, those were his
JB>orders

You worry too much.  After Gustav, NG troops were patrolling
the French Quarter. Folks in strip clubs were asking for their
autographs, and offering them free drinks.  If martial law were
ever to be declared in this country, it would be martial law
with a smile.

>BF>At least where there has been at least a minimum of freedom of
>BF>speech, and with internet we all *do* have a huge freedom of
>BF>speech. That is, until all the Echelons, Patriot Acts, NSAs,
>BF>four-letter media organisations and so on, manages to put a stop to
>BF>that.

JB>Yep, what is happening is happening to all of us and it's
JB>not the President doing it.

Why should the president do anything?  All he has to do is say
the word and it shall be done.

>BF>But then again we always have Fidonet, don't we? Out of reach
>BF>for any of those democracy grave diggers.

JB>Yes, let's get those 28.8K modems working again.  It'll be awhile
JB>before the the infastructure is completly brought down. (-:

Didn't take long for the House of Saud to shut fido down.
