So the military industrial complex has the most power, and politicians have the least?!
I think something is wrong with this line of reasoning.
The pen is mightier than the sword!
Apathy is quite a powerful tool in the 21st century.
The Holocaust would have proceeded — and often did proceed — with simple bullets, death marches, and massacres based on pen and paper persecution. But there is reason to examine the fantastical numbers Hitler achieved in murdering so many millions so swiftly, and identify the crucial role of automation and technology. Accountability is needed.
Text of "1984" Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology. Where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!
On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like "1984

The people at the council meeting did nothing because they were afraid... The “council”, in a couple of different incarnations, has been running the town as their own little piggy bank for quite some time and when the electorate finally put in a Mayor that wanted to change that…TSHTF!!
They, the council, has been writing checks to “unknown” employees on a regular basis, but never names the employee, thier position, or what they are being paid for.
When the Mayor demanded documentation they basically told him to piss off...
...The council has decided to raise taxes and water and sewer rates, but would not give any details of the of the budget or how the higher taxes and rates were to be applied. Which from what I gather is the issue that Ms Jones was addressing...
The people of the town have been targeted for retaliation if they speak out concerning the crimes going on in their town. They don’t have a lot and they don’t want to lose what they have. They cannot exercise their right to vote, well, they can but if the council doesn’t like it, they just void it.
A good example is the way the just fired the Mayor who was legally elected by the people and was even protected by law from being fired by the council. I guess they hope that the calvery (FBI, state police, etc…) will eventually ride over the hill and save them.
Those of you who do not think this is important are missing a valuable lesson. Firstly crooked politicians are never happy to stay in the “small pond”.
At some point they will want to take their corruption to a larger venue.
The other lesson? Quartzite is America, just on a smaller scale. There is nothing going on there that is not going on in our state capitols or DC.
Too many of us are scared and John Wayne ain’t comin’ to kick any bad guy ass. We are on our own.
