Your sci-fi is being undermined: ..by a real world technocratic dystopia. Can 1984 compete with 2021? A struggle, but I think it still can. Will 1984 be able to compete with 2031, though? Or even 2025? I'm not sure. Orwell tried, though. I tip my cap to all of you writers who tried to make it real before it became all too real.   Maybe, now, what we need is an imagined revolution of cosmic proportions ; )   Your call is engaging: we must all, what ever and how ever we write, rise to meet any challenge that threatens to make our pen ink disappear into the page - sage words from the wise.

throwing a stick and watching: throwing a stick and watching my dog chase it is entertaining enough for me.

Thank you.: Oh, "The Man" is more and more becoming "The Woman", don't worry. We can look forward to an equal opportunity abuse in the future, at least equal opportunity among the men and women born in the right-sized mansions.   Outside of children, I nod to you that there are no innocent parties to the world's woes. But the burden of responsibility for our err's is not nearly so fairly distributed, of course. Intentionally built faulty airplanes that kill hundreds of people, draw a fine, maybe have one scapegoat in the company charged. But go and be the guy or gal who makes faulty repairs on a rich man's car and see if you even make it past the "getting taken out behind the shed" phase to a trial date.   Or lie about alternate treatments to a disease and be a billionaire or a corporate news station, no problem. No need to apologize when it turns out that the "horse paste" actually would have saved a million lives or more, as studies have now proven. But be a "regular person" with a small following online and 'spread misinformation' (which may turn out not to be misinformation, ie. that supposed "horse paste") and have your ability to communicate, as well as perhaps make a living, cut off.   Yes, there's no innocent, but we do have a huge problem with distribution of responsiblity, and weird enough, it seems to correlate very strongly with the huge problem we have with distribution of wealth. Weird, right? ; )   Selling out, indeed. Politician is a job description. Whores for the ruling class bidders. People often look down on sanitation workers, as if they are the garbage rather than the takers away of garbage. Maybe we ought to realize, all together, who the garbage is and ask our sanitation workers to take them away : )   Let's disproportionately return the garbage to the garbage creaters - those mansions have huge lawns that would make nice landfills.    

Bravado Write: Every line, gems strewn! Thanks, I take strength from the rant. Encore. You tell em! You tell us! ;D ~A~

"We are dead": . What if this is dream and when eyes close living commences? Dwell on that as if it is a useful endeavor, then come back home to the enigmatic here. . Lady A .  

  when the last hourglass:   when the last hourglass grain of sand drops, and life in one body is finished the soul either takes a new human body or is so advanced he or she merges in God .. very rarely very bad people come back as other mammals..
