http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=115x15177Thanks for posting this again -- it deserves to be widely read! By the way, consider buying a hard copy of it if you have a few extra dollars burning a hole in your local ozone layer! :) --bkl DISCLAIMER: I am not, nor have I ever been Matt Savinar.

4. Downloaded and printed |
|
Matt has done an excellent job pulling together a hugh amount of information from many different sources.
His Q&A approach makes this a great reference. You can pick out a specific topic and zero in. You don't have to read cover-to-cover.
I'll look for the book in published form as ~180 pages is a pile of paper even printed 2UP.

6. skimmed it but sheesh, talk about negative |
|
A lot of sound and fury if all he can suggest is that Kerry is just as bad as Bush and that we might as well get comfortable with our deaths.

7. Consider his point of view |
|
He's spent months putting together an analysis of the situation -- and the situation is grim, indeed.
There are a lot of things that can be done to save Humankind, too. But in 1938, it looked like the future belonged to some flavor of fascism. A fascist would have said that the world of 1968 would be a world of order, discipline, and obedience. What we got was sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll, as well as open rebellions in France, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and a few other places.
His view of Kerry=Bush I can accept as an artifact of his youth; I believe he is still under 30, and probably still has way too much hipster cynicism in his newly-minted-lawyer's blood. Give him a few years to adjust to world. He has a keen eye for the nasty details -- an eye that will probably start looking for solutions hidden in plain sight.
