Extinction. Economic and otherwise.

Like the dinosaurs who lacked the survival tools tnecessary to adapt to rapid changes 65,000,000 years ago will we also perish clinging to a crude social system devised 6, 000 years or so ago by slavery driven societies like the ancient Egyptians and their peers?

With labor being rapidly vanquished to history by automation and Emperors and Pharoahs clinging desperatly to their illigitimate power are we on the verge of economic extinction as a race? As a country? Economic extinction or literal extinction by our own hand is not a novel idea in 2005 but it all seems more clear and more likely than ever as ourking like (mis) leaders and their panicked followers, the militant religious fundamentalists, the greedy gamblers, criminals of various sorts and outright fools cling desperatly to past illusions...and insist that we do also .

Even the trans-national corporations who claim to be "American", with their great displays of American Flags and their "off shore" addresses in the Caymans no longer want to use American labor. Not only because they can get virtual slave labor in other parts of the world but because American workers are so poorly educated and difficult to train. There is a powerful movement afoot to replace education with ancient superstition and dogma in a dark attempt to revive the traditional values of the earliest "Sons of God", the Pharoahs, Kings and Emperors or yore and the Robber Barons and theocrats of more recent times at the peril of those who want to be lead; for the sake of those who would exploit these gullible people for power and wealth.

One thing is for sure. The megalomaniacs will perish clinging to the gold they cherish along with those they dupe. The rest of us will also perish if we do not stop them. They are armed, dangerous and desperate. They can crush us with their great mass and, in their arrogance and ignorance, consider us to be as insignifigant as ants.
