20. The mine disaster is a case in point.
In order to grow their wealth the owners did not make the mine safe. Now they are saying that death is just a risk you take if you are a miner.

I see us going one of two ways. The first is that those with wealth grow their wealth on our backs like the kings and the serfs. It is happening today with the Wall street banks, and health care. If you get in the way of their wealth growth you are expendable.

Or we could take control of the society and change it. There are more of us then them yet we fight among each other while our country is turning in to the first post industrial third world country.
