2. What's scary is that they often do not perish. I was watching doc. on Attila the Hun...

he spent his adulthood destroying other countries and people mercilessly. He was a cruel sadist.

Or if they do perish, it's after they've accomplished much of their destruction.

We're in a war of sorts, that's for sure.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Once we are reduced to serfdom, who will sustain their corporations? When we have no money to buy anything more than what we need for basic survival, who will buy their cars, TVs, plane tickets, hotel rooms, houses, air conditioners, refrigerators, microwaves, pianos, iPhones, fishing tackle or lawn mowers? Who will go to their baseball games, football games, concerts, movies or conventions? And when people have nothing to lose, what will keep them from revolution?
