Kris, nice get. Pushback against the uber wealthy and powerful is growing but way too slowly considering the harm they cause. To them, we are just their personal ATM's and terrified cheap laborbots.

To be fair, Poors are not supposed to push back. They're supposed to pay interest on their credit cards and feud with each other, instead.

Another exercise in **verify yourself** for e-mail, from you of all people, Kris. ! We're all going to have to regress back to handwriting or typing, folding up our comments to fit in Correct Size envelopes, then rummaging around in the junk drawer for what we hope is not the very last Forever Stamp.

At least you aren't in America, where the immaterial landslide keeps increasing in ways usually reserved for things made of molten rock or decomposing glaciers. The bit you're talking about here hasn't been new for hundreds of years - it just gets revised every few generations.

Hey Rev; I'm glad you're here. Frankly, I'd be enchanted if we could send missives attached to the leg of crows. I had a pet crow when I was a kid. Lovely bird.

One thing I'll say about the robber barons of the Gilded Age? They built things for the public. They weren't good people, but they had a sense of noblesse oblige that is thoroughly missing in today's era. Just a thought I had.

It's all bread and circuses now. Just embrace the ludicrous absurdity of life and know that on a Universal scale none of this matters a wit.
