>Are you ready to revolt? A cynic says that in 2012, politics is a game in which politicians must occupy as much of the playground as possible to assemble the largest house of cards, rewarding and punishing the other kids (muppets) with such cunning that they don't realize they are part of a game or what the rules are and definitely so they don't revolt and interfere with the even more important game of wealth concentration. The goal of that game is to re-establish an aristocracy while converting everybody else into peasants and chimneysweeps: the job for politicians is to temporarily occupy territory and create "tales of sound and fury signifying nothing" to distract the muppets from the permanent losses happening all around them. So, people who shrug and walk away in 2012 are safely ignored. The ones to worry about are those few who say "no, you can't take over the basketball court for your house of cards" especially if others are emboldened by this behavior. Those are the ones who need incentives to move along so that the game can proceed smoothly until the rest of the muppets wake up one day and realize that they are reduced to spectators who have to pay to watch in a playground that used to be theirs.

Red pills for everyone!

Is it merely coincidence that the pills are red, and not blue? ;-)
