to those very clever folks on this panel, the ones I enjoy reading with mouth agape and a heady-headspin... 

abstract:  what might happen if legislation continues on its present path…and leads to a corporation running for President and another corporation running for VP?  Could we face a quagmire of tyranny & every sort of slave labor & execution for sake of public pacification & every measure of toxic waste, etc., greater than any ever known throughout history; not just the worst history (coming full circle &) repeating itself…but something far greater in scale than anything earth & humanity has ever had to persevere from?

David Baerwald:  I’ve never queried you, personally (just didn’t seem appropriate), but I’m curious what your take on this might be.  Or is it too vague a question?

Cheers!
