bloodless coup

 Why V for vendetta is how not to fight a revolution.
The real question is...how much does it cost to make an individual sacrifice his/her morality.
THIS EQUATION IS THE MEASURE OF OUR CAPACITY FOR EVIL

Our sincere hope for justice is the measure of our madness.

Value of material objects over living things is the only sacrilege.

It is arguable that the universe itself is a living thing and that the dead have little to say.

Our moral obligation to ourselves can be used against us at any time.

Identity is a venereal disease.

Personality is a peculiar method of deception as to true identity or purpose that is present in all that feed on living things.

The sex urge is natural and should not be a means of exploitation but a source of joy.  Willingness and consent are two different things and the moral imperative demands that both be present.

There is no use in perpetuating violence unless you are going to completely destroy the essence of your perceived enemy. (shoot first ask questions later) People who have made the decision to be violent often will not desire to live to see the aftermath of their violence if it is not a better scenario for the surviving group.  People can realize during an act of violence that they have made a mistake.  It is important to be able to make the distinction between those who are totally committed to a cause and those who are participating in an activity.  It is the difference between a defector and a general.  Both require significant will power.  To participate in the hypothetical TOTALITARIAN REGIME took the same amount of faith and will as it did for those who chose not to participate.  When faced with the threat of violence as the prime motivator for obedience...the participants are on a timeline of death versus revolt.   When faced with reward as the prime motivator for obedience...the participants are on several time lines.  death versus revolt becomes less likely.  Opulence versus degeneration
insensitivity to reward versus amount of reward available
Status versus Complacency

Our unwillingness to consider a "stateless" society as a viable alternative to 20th century remix america as we are now experiencing it...is a source of great wonderment for me.  It makes me want to go to Disneyland.

Joy is not as powerful as fear because we instinctively know(or suspect) that death is eternal and happiness is fleeting.

Is life the perfect mystery?

The many many many reasons for wanting to be distracted.

A simple refusal of recognizing the authority should warrant being treated as a diplomat.

A personal moral code is greater than the written law.
