If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

The goal of the activist is to increase democratic participation (i.e., direct influence) in all areas of activity and to reverse or impede the otherwise increasing concentration of power. Very good, indeed. But this, less so: Quote:
In this regard, the right is more effective than the left... Just who then, if we discount the religious fanatics and the authoritarian right, are we left with? The author posits some right wing libertarian activists who work to increase democracy. Who would he give as examples of such people? But as the author himself admitted earlier in the article, left to itself in a laissez-faire economic system, democracy will always be corrupted by the wealthy. That's always been the fatal flaw of libertarianism--there's no economic analysis that acknowledges that a market system never stays static but moves always closer to a concentration of wealth and power. In practice, we've always seen the so-called libertarians aligning with the power elites on economic matters.

That's a great point, Brian. We have to start from where we are; I think a lot of my progressive friends don't understand that. On the other hand, there are a bunch of revolutionaries who have given that matter quite a bit of thought...That's why that first quote above is very important.

I'm still waiting for the prophecies to happened but I see that the year 2000 passed without any, then 2012, and any other aren’t going to happen.

My daughter prophesied the Grand National winner: She looked up and seen Many Clouds and backed it at 33/1.
I on the other hand, studied the form all night and I am still waiting for mine to finish.
