Waiting game...

Have a post I'm working on, but can't post it just yet. If all goes well, it will be the next one up. This weather is gonna drive me nuts. Absolutely unpredictable. Last weather report said there'd be rain today. No. Perfect San Diego weather. The nice thing is, that's usually the way it turns out, month after month. Pleases me no end. So until I next post, I'll leave you with this tidbit from Independent Clearing House:

"The American system is the most ingenious system of control in world history. With a country so rich in natural resources, talent and labour power the system can afford to distribute just enough wealth to just enough people to limit discontent to a troublesome minority. It is a country so powerful, so big, so pleasing to so many of its' citizens that it can afford to give freedom of dissent to the small number who are not pleased. There is no system of control with more openings, apertures, flexibilities, rewards for the chosen.

There is none that disperses its' control more complexly through the voting system, the work situation, the church, the family, the school, the mass media - none more successful in mollifying opposition with reforms, isolating people from one another, creating patriotic loyalty.":
