(1,182 posts)Ah yes. The conundrum of being compromised by your own success in decrying the status quo. I am hoping that the simplest solution to social unrest will be to concoct a "business plan" of paying everybody off, as it is cheaper in the long run than trying to kill or incarcerate all dissenters. The profit margins are rapidly declining in that sector. Resistance is a "growth industry". How may be "capitalize" upon it?
Once the Great Beast has devoured, regurgitated, and re-devoured every conceivable "social ill", but still finds it is starving for a bigger "return on investment", perhaps it will start cultivating the herd for profit, rather than continue in its scorched earth policy of environmental annihilation.
It is my fervent prayer that Pink Floyd's "All in all you're just another brick in the wall" will transmogrify into Richard Brautigan's "All watched over by machines of loving grace."
Then, perhaps, we shall all finally see, paradoxically indeed, that to bow down before the Great Whore (Mommy Gaia?) is our best option...
Apocalypse .. yesterday!
