Welp, I'm going to need someone to keep making computers for me, and I don't know any non-corporate entities willing to pay for the microchip assembly line. Sorry, guys, but I won't be joining the revolution this time. :/

Similarly, the municipal water company, a corporation chartered by my city, currently has a monopoly on pipes. Likewise the Postal Service, a corporation laid out by the federal government is going to be difficult to bypass if I intend to pass information farther than a day's walk.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Quit doing that, it's lame.
So what? *I* am lame.
Yeah, that's not really the gist of my post. The point is, you do this all the time. Inasmuch as you still can, you're undermining your points because everyone knows if you present your opinion, you won't defend it but will rather say we just don't understand and refuse to back your position up. You know, I know and everyone else knows that you have nothing to say, no way to back it up, and you're really not fooling anyone. Maybe let some other opinions and ideas into your worldview instead of throwing up a wall of weak excuses?

Well, thats missing the point a little bit.
People seem to think of revolution as a bunch of anarchists getting together in a riot, bringing down the system and plunging us all into another dark age.

The fight doesnt have to be so literal, it could be a revolution of minds or a change of attitude. Getting civilisation to reject an empty materialism that exploits the third world and pollutes the atmosphere doesnt mean we all have to go back to living in caves.
