Outstanding. I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to make people understand that there is no us and them, no red and blue, no liberal and conservative, etc. They are all the same thing, dressed a little differently to make us think there's a difference. They've been 'telling' us for decades what the plans are, by putting out blockbuster movies that show what they can (and plan to) do. To quote one of those movies "The only way to win is not to play"

That is where I've decided to stop. I'm not going to play anymore. I won't pretend that my voice makes a difference, or that I can get people to listen. The need to get out of debt is driving us out of the home we thought was our last, and while the excitement of trying again in a totally different climate off grid and far away from the masses is appealing, I don't know if I have the energy and youth to start all over from scratch. We shall see.

Yep, you hit the nail on the head with that one. Learn to live without a cell phone and you may be able to remain independent for some time. But that’s easier said than done, these days.
