“I encourage everyone to vote in November, but I have a feeling that it’s just too little too late and more like window dressing and rearranging of chairs on the deck of the titanic. But until the ship goes down, by all means keep bailing...but it looks like the whole is too big and we’re taking on too much water...and it also looks like some of the crew is attempting to sabotage the efforts of those trying to bail.”
I must admit the ship has been sinking much faster then we have ever been able to bail her out. Our efforts at stopping this have mostly been focused upon changing the chairs in Washington D.C. and each and every time we have made at best only token progress in reversing or even slowing the progress of this evil.(The centralization and growth of power in the Government)
If we are going to win this fight we need a game changer.
We can’t keep taking theses kinds of losses forever, eventually there will come a time when the great cycle will have to repeat itself, how that happens is a matter which we can influence.
Will we walk thou the desert of despotism before we endure the fire of Revolution, or will we somehow end this madness while we still have some shreds of a republic left?
We know form a study of history that there are very few examples where civilizations have been able to “reset” or even hold the clock in freedom as to avoid the “painful part” of the great cycle.
I know that if we are to “cheat fate” we will need to learn from their failures and successes and uses modern technology to give us the advantage they never had.
There are a great many minds between us have faith that if we study and discuss theses issues more then a few of us will find more then a few possible ways in which we can “tempt fate”.

Although I would caution against relying on technology too heavily without having less technologically dependent back ups. for example, I don't think it'd be that hard to crash the internet...I don't mean by a single individual, but by a government or a rogue portion of it...or more simply, just legislating it such that it's no longer free (there are already efforts on that front).
