This is a strange game where the only winning move is not to play. - War Games 1983

Or so I was told. Haven't watched the movie yet to confirm, but I've been using that line as my measure for years whenever I feel seduced into playing.

Thanks for your article. It's true. Though I'm not convinced about local politics either. Having gotten myself involved in them several times. God Bless.

"Don't get me wrong ... folks still need to vote at their local level. This is where Real Change begins, and puts into force Caitlin’s many acts of sedition ... which is excellent advice by her. I really like that she gives so many examples of the little actions people can take. She really brings the red meat to the table, yum."

This is not the first time you have praised Johnstone. I have a different take on her positions. She has banned me from her blog as she is very sensitive to disagreement. This is even though I supported her by placing her articles on the Unz Review for a couple of years. I do agree with the crux of most of her positions. But I think she tends to let her underlying socialist, liberal propensity to take control. I do not see her position as 'red meat'. She has very few viable solutions...I would say they are more like pablum.

Perhaps she would be wise to spend more time disparaging the Australian government, which is a puppet of the U.S., than lumping all Americans together, as in her recent article 'Netanyahu’s Speech Was as American as It Gets'.
