how bout dis..... keeping the world addicted to fossil fuels is actually, ironically, whatcha really wanna, for now see, the next logical step in power technology: fuel cells draggin heels, too expensive, too impractical jus yet, zzzzz while they'll power yer house n car, off oxygen n hydrogen efficiently, cleanly, n empower the masses economically too much power can be dangerous in the wrong hands hook up one o those beauties to a modern medical laser with enough power, slice a crowd o people literally in half today's technology, the whole thingy'd fit inna big backpack scary scenario, but entirely reasonably feasable, realistic, etc even jus windmills n solar panels are within arm's reach o that cuz it gets us off the grid n into more efficient alternatives but more than jus light bulbs n hybrids require wattage n thus, the big idea is to identify all the sickos first or if ya can't do that, keep em busy elsewhere n if ya like chaos, that's who to depend on which leads into..... the whole 911 thingy middle east war etc central america, southeast asia, whever else keeps the 3rd world warlords n overlords busy too distracted to develop the bomb on their own not enough time n money leftover anymore, oddly when they sue for peace is when we should worry hard to concentrate with constant bangin on yer door jus put a dome over the whole region n declare dmz ok, where is it you'd like me to evaporate instead ? yeah, keep em at each other's throats, for now the bullies on the block beat each other up if there's no other way than they gotta be like that fine, point em at each other or eventually it'll be jus them who's left n actually, no one wants that ok, ya heard that one but also..... ok, this one's from star wars episode 3 kinda one day, near the end o ww3, or whatever ya wanna call it all the armed activated mobilized military all over the world stop pointin their guns at each other, n turn on the peasants instead stand down, soldier - n signal the solemn sentry - by your command silly civilians in the cities n suburbs, suddenly surrounded strangely cuz they already invented all the droids they'd need to replace us art, music, creativity - means nuthin to them - what's a suit to do ? keep a few farmers for food - but droids can mostly do that too ok, 3 leagues off the deep end..... but the point is, we hippies don matter to whoever's in charge we're silly, dismissable, until we say somethin that makes sense peace, freedom - bust a buncha potheads who never even bathe we could go out into the wild n never be heard from again, suits em this is still the wrong century to even be half a hippie n not an outsider no one's taken seriously, straying from the corporate cookie-cutter mold stand up n give a speech, say yer say - human interest, breach o security we're doped up on hope n led on to believe change is a comin soon health care, civil rights, election reform - jus drowning in minutia petty lil distractions n obfuscations - it's all theater - lookin busy but meanwhile, the letter o the law is beating the spirit o the law to new near-death experiences with shiny new nickels n dimes obviously enthused - n seeming to really believe it all, too yer taxes are too high n i'm the one who's whining but ya don get any power unless ya can lie n no rest, unless ya can lie down so with hair in our fingernails n bits o our own tongues in our teeth we snap n shout n scream n cry, injustice up to the silent sky either enforce empathy n equality or quit pretending ya wanna but there's plenty o local domestic lunatics, with n without fringes who would be very unhappy if things were any better than even this any closer to actual equality would be more than they could stand so the minor injustices: katrina, jena - add all ya want to that list we hold our ground like god is with us - cuz that's how god'd be n centuries from now, our decendants look back at us like we look back on the middle ages, rome... atlantis o you poor sorry bastards, weren't ya even trying ? nah, man we're groovy we're in hiding
