Ernie: "And the Big Question: how can we get in front if it, so people will actually listen to us?"
Exactly the right question to ask. I have never said that you aren't smart as hell. On the contrary, you are very smart. But if I may offer a demurer, from my perspective you aren't much of a team player. Not that I make it easy for you with my -shall we say- healthy ego, but that was the whole point of the Ted Williams quotes. As if you have Williams on your team and your reaction is, "I don't need him except as window dressing, I can do it all by myself, If he needs a quality fielder's glove, some quality bats, and good cleats, that is not my problem. He can get them all on his own even if he doesn't have a dime because, you see, my philosophy is Horatio Alger and any other philosophy is incomprehensible to me." Back in the Bugle days the first thing I did was to try and assemble a team.based on what I had thought was a good faith offer from you. Not that you did not have reasons for setting aside the offer, I get that, But, still, there I was, hung out to dry and leaving people whom I had approached to play a part in the Bugle pushed off a cliff. And I have tried to get some kind of help several time since, basically a good contact would do it, someone who sees where my skills could earn them a lot of money and, in the process, set me up with professional resources to work with. I know something about publications, and publicity and so forth, but what is the use? I can offer any number of ideas, out of which a few ought to produce results. But after some jaw boning that is as far as you ever go. Zero commitment to practical solutions to anything, This is a good forum for jaw boning and it has decent and good people associated with it. No point in my jumping ship. But I think it is wise for me not to put any faith in RC.org ever producing even one actionable plan that can have real world results. That is, there are plenty of ideas for getting us noticed if you really are interested, but you are not really interested.

A form that cuts Capitalism into pieces or one that reforms Capitalism for the common good? And the Big Question: how can we get in front if it, so people will actually listen to us? I’ve discovered that Being Right is mostly useless if nobody is paying attention (cf Cassandra).
