Amen. Folks, it is time to rebel. I don't know exactly what the
rebellion will look like yet. But I am increasingly of the
opinion that if we do not rebel now we soon will not be able to
at all. The heat beneath the frog (ourselves) in the pot of
water is being turned up relentlessly. We might want to jump
out now while we are still able to.
