There were not enough British soldiers in the entire Empire to conquer India by force of arms, but by dividing the various principalities against each other, they conquered India with mostly Indian soldiers, much as Caesar had done in Gaul over 1700 years prior. <br /><br />So we have been divided. And conquered, really. If there was a class war, our class lost, and the 1% of the 1% that owns 50% of America now won. We are now serfs on Walmart's plantation. Some of us are house slaves and treated better than the field serfs, but serfin' USA we be.<br /><br />What's the solution? Hell if I know. I'm just doing my best to survive as a mammal in a world dominated by terrifying dinosaurs with immense force at their disposal. But finding little ecological niches to fill keeps getting harder and harder...BadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.com
