An old joke among us elders is "there's one difference between a libertarian and an anarchist and that's two election cycles".

In way way the whole R3VOLUTION! might not only be said to be a failure (we failed to get Dr. Paul elected, some of us knew we wouldn't) but we might be said to be a massive disillusionment factory. Our chief product in reality seems to be getting people to give up, unplug, go off-grid and say to hell with the world.

Would you believe we knew this would happen and we led you into optimism like so many cows to be slaughtered? "When you play by the rules and win against the people that make the rules, they just change the rules". We knew that. We just used you to get our ideas out there. And now they are out there. And we have absolutely no control over what happens now. And that was it kids. That was the big shebang. Show's over now. All we're doing is sweeping up the confetti.
