Ray, you have the makings of a potential Oligarch!  Our recruiters will be calling on you soon!

There is no oligarchy! The Black Empire never existed. I've never sighted an oligarch - is it like big foot or something?

But i suppose if there were an oligarchy in control of EVERYTHING, it would behoove them to utilize fear of their power as a means to control the masses. It would help the oligarchy to whisper about their omnipotence. It would help the oligarchy to spread fear and retell their stories of conquest and dominion.

For me, it's less interesting to live under that story. To live in the Iron Prison. I choose to live free of that fear. I choose to create a more conscious vision of the future. And i want to do it in the good community of other like minded individuals.

It's like that story of the Indian Sadhu, the one who had nothing and hadn't eaten for days. A kind villager gave him a scrap of chapati of which the Sadhu was very grateful. As the Sadhu sat down to eat the golden chapati, a feral dog snatched the chapati and ran away. The Sadhu gave chase, yelling to the dog, "Wait! Wait! Would you like some ghee with that chapati?" 

The oligarchy is that dog. Perhaps the proverbial Sadhu could offer ghee to the dog whole stole his only food (i mean, that chapati wasn't ever his - it was given by god). But if it were me, if I caught that dog, i would eat it.

Why not eat bugs?

In Calvin Schwabe's (the father of veterinary epidemiology) book "Unmentionable Cuisine" he suggests in light of the world's food shortages, how silly it is to hold cultural and regional taboos surrounding food sources.

Except there isn't a food shortage. There is a food embargo. We have so much food that we throw away huge amounts of good stuff cause we can't eat it quick enough. Then we make sure that only the rich have access to more. Eating bugs might be a fun novelty, but the solution to the food problem is to stand up against the systematic starvation of poor cities and countries around the world. Next time you see a $30 a plate restaurant in the mission or down town Oakland ask your self who's getting feed and who is left to eat bugs.
