I've been in the long fight ever since then, at various levels, in various capacities, and you know what? We've been slowly but surely losing that long fight for over fifty years. You call me a ninny for venting what I see as a bleak reality, so tell me, what's the solution, what will turn this all around? Because quite frankly, to paraphrase Zappa, they're dismantling the set, pulling back the curtains, and we're quickly going to be hitting that brick wall.

What, you want me to be all happy, happy, joy, joy? Sorry, but I deal in realities, and if you can't, or don't want to view those realities in order to prepare for them, then you're going to be infor a rude awakening very soon.
