-- from The Bonobo and the Atheist by Frans de WaalNietzsche...warned that the emergence of something, whether an organ, legal institution or a religious ritual is never to be confused with its acquired purposes. “Anything in existence having somehow come about is continually interpreted anew, requisitioned anew, transformed and redirected to a new purpose.” This is a liberating thought, which teaches us to never hold the history of something against its possible applications.

It seems to me that every law, dictat, regulation is designed to detach government, corporations, banks from the democratic process. If people don't wake up soon we will be dragged back to a time when life was brutal and short. If we can't afford to consume, we will be worthless to those who control our destiny.
