Re: OT- Rights in the USA and Canada and the world
I just thought Communism was an economic system. Didn't Lenin originally want basic freedoms for his people?
Look at China now. Free enterprise style of economy but a totalitarian form of government.
I'm really scared for this country. Erosion of the middle class, clampdown of our constituional rights. I'm afraid we're heading for a two class system. Filthy rich business owners and semi rich technicians and the working poor. If you keep Playstations affordable the lower class won't rebel (modern day Version of the Roman Coloseum games) And if you do get uppity enough and ***** about "your place" in society, it's off to prison for you!

I think you said what I said with more words...
As I said, "Give the population just enough to keep them from revolting."
A good analgy, though...the games in the collosium.

Re: OT- Rights in the USA and Canada and the world

Re: OT- Rights in the USA and Canada and the world
In Civ III, when the populations get cranky you build a coloseum! Isn't there something in a Mel Brooks movie about how the people are revolting?
I'd think that the first step is to get 3rd world populations under control so the big wigs here don't use their populations for cheap labor. Now a conspiracy theorist would say that is what's happening now with diseases and wars being used to whittle down other countries populations. Oh, don't know what to think now. When the aliens come I want a window seat of this place!

The new world order. It is the evelution of our society. There will always be a slave class and a rich power wielding currupt governing class.
It has been like this throughout history, and it will continue to be like this.

Gee, if that's true, why even bother keeping the humans around? Why not replace us with something better?
