#3 Maybe, but every time in history there comes a point where you have to defend the system, to paraphrase Lincoln, to give their last full measure of devotion. When that day comes, they'll have a lot of 'dependent' cannon fodder but little else to retain power. It won't be enough. Never has.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
