BREAKING: Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder broke out an acoustic rendition of Bruce Springsteen's "My City of Ruins" at their show last night to support Springsteen in his fight against Donald Trump. This is awesome. America is waking up.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Growing tomatoes.

I think the positive polyanna stuff is good but this is a stretch. The difference today is technology. Man has always trended toward corruption, that hasn't changed. BUT the fact they can create drones, phones, internal tracking devices, push jabs that kill and likely load you with nanotechnology and the like, I just have no idea how things are going to turn out fine. We're going to be able to get all this technology into the hands of good folks? That would be the only way and I have to la…
Technology just accelerates the same outcomes.
That's what I'm saying. And perhaps you know were just putting an ! on it. Which is fine.
Technology can accelerate the good as well as the bad. Those who give up their guns or other tech tools aren't necessarily good, just complacent. Lazy, even. Every technological advantage is always quickly overcome by new technologies. No one controls invention but ourselves.
Who is ourselves? You and I control nothing. It will be technology that enslaves us, becuase it can. It couldn't be more obvious. Furthermore you're missing my point or I'm not being clear. Good men will not do what bad men will do. Bad men will do whatever it takes to get ahead and the good men will not do what it takes to stop the bad man. IF a bad man will kill, rape, plunder, threaten, and rig to name a few but a good man won't, then what? Guns were just an example detailing what hap…
We're all bad. Most of us are usually restrained enough that we think ourselves good. Mostly a matter of circumstances. When society collapses, we'll see new depths of bad, in ourselves and others. We all have as much control of our circumstances as we choose to acquire. I use technology for my good all the time, as does everyone I know. No one controls us unless we permit it. Those who avoid tools are likely to be controlled by those who don't,
I agree but again, whose talking about you and me? It's all good.
Solutions have to begin somewhere. As they say, if not us, who? And if not now, when?
