...truth is that the oppre3ssed of the earth would turn right around and be oppressors if they had the slightest chance...at least enough of them. In reality people aren't philosophers and don;t much care for philosophy...what most people want is food, shelter, companionship and maybe children.....sit around relaxing with friends and more or less helping their children grow up just like them...I've never looked for bold-thinking anything from the laboring classes, even when they're out of work.

...only dire necessity, some ground-shaking emergency is going to move people, by force, into a new groove...but rest assured it WILL be just another groove.

...outsiders will always exist and they'll always be on the outside, getting no help from insiders....which is as it should be.

...America is at a watershed....and mostly ready to slide downhill....boosters and jingoists will say that prediction has been made many times in the past and "we always survived"...yes, but the level and standard keeps sinking.

...monetary-banking-debt is slavery...it may be nice slavery, but it's slavery and its conditions and terms are out of the hands of the slaves...as is their overall welfare.

...we're going to have to redefine lots of things among them "life"....."liberty".....and "happiness". We sort of know what they've meant up to here...but that's been changing for some time, if it ever was static. Just what are they....what, exactly is Life? What is liberty...happiness?

People don't like philosophy but it's behind everything we think and feel and do.
