I personally absolve you from all responsibility for
the games of the leaders and institutions that fuck
with us...my notion of how real power works includes a
view ( and I freely admit it may be dead wrong ) that
we underlings have and can have little if any effect
on the Powers that Be, barring a full-scale
revolution...They will continue in their Good Old Boy
Network as they always have, making the back room
deals, trading the secret trades, buying and selling
off human resources to the hilt, to gratify their lust
for domination, control and good old Money...yea I am
THAT cynical about those aspects of human power
relations...I think that thoughfull people like you
cannot and should not fuck with Them unless you can
get enough like-minded people together to do the
fucking on a truly massive and implacable scale, with
an intensity and duration good enough to completely
clean house...that being said, I still don't feel all
individual scientific curiosity and passion to know
answers is or has been coopted by the System..It
frankly could give a rat's ass about whether I think
Vacuum Genesis is a possibly better alternative to
Standard Model Big Bang Theory....and that's perfectly
cool with me
