"Of the people, buy the people, control the people."
So goes the formula used on planet Neoredemecron to wield power.

The history is extremely complicated, but essentially, the powers that be found that greater freedom to the "people" can be more useful than draconian control. It used to be that a rigid hierarchal system, with kings and czars, landowners and merchants was enough to keep the masses in check.

Then there was a great awakening. The masses were, through advances in technology, able to discern that the kings etc. were full of shit. So....
There needed to be a new plan of execution to remain in control.

Read the rest of this mess below the folds. (There is only one fold, but we choose the make it plural in idiocy like "internets") Read More

The Patriot Act reauthorization is next up..... Read More
