 @00b07ccb i do not believe change will be possible without Revolution. And Revolution will not happen until a critical mass of people don’t get their three squares for three days.  Hopefully i am wrong on both counts, for that would be far too late. Even if every seat was filled with a Democrat i do not see meaningful change due to just how radicle our lives would have to change to accommodate the reality.

"You gentlemen who think you have a mission
To purge us of the seven deadly sins
Should first sort out the basic food position
Then start your preaching, that's where it begins"

Brecht and Weill are with you on that.  And, yes, by the time the global supply chain collapses to the point people are missing their meals in the rich countries, it is way, way too late for change.  The only question is where the numbers will settle.  500,000,000? 1,000,000,000? 0?
