3. And yet ironically, it is our demand for those dollars.....

...our chase for them and the games played to make us struggle and fight against each other in so doing, our willingly indebting ourselves and our futures, selling our lives like indentured servants, and our ultimate acquiescence to its use as a measure of value, that enables its apparent and continuing validity. Lord knows it's otherwise worthless, many times over.

It's worth something because we say it is, and everyone is afraid of the Nut-In-The-Neighborhood-With-The-Nukes. And after enough videos on the evening news all over the world, of the women and babies the United States have murdered with their drones today -- for FREEDOM -- well, people start getting the message and they use dollars. If they know what's good for them.

They are like terrible children these rich of modern times, little tyrants with immense power to hurt or to harm. The overriding mindset here is that of a dualistic, conflict-oriented, primitivism. With nuclear capabilities. And they understand something very essential to it all, and which most people totally overlook.

- We're the ones with the power.
