59. They can hire half to kill the other, right? Those who are left will pay fees too. <G>

But yeah, you can't just sit, gotta have cover, and one hope it works out.

Having read through quite a bit of 1865-1932, I think business has figured out how to do many of the same things they used to do for profit back when they hired criminals as company guards, used up 6 year old girls (smashed hands, lost fingers, scalps pulled off and dead) in the mills or buried little boys in coal shafts with their brothers and fathers. But now they are not so overt, because lawsuits hurt profits.

Business has found that murdering people is not nearly as profitable as leaving them alive to struggle. They still kill them, but their fingerprints aren't at the scene. I doubt we will descend into anarchy in our lifetime. We have schooled people into being docile, and removed any criticism of much of the system that is killing them. Our result is a bunch of people so docile and democratic about all that opportunity being pocketed by others. I don't think that makes for a secure future.
