Thanks for the link, Ed, but I don't participate or read anything on 
Reddit anymore - it's too rough over there for me and I don't get any 
pleasure out of watching people smear each other anymore. I get enough 
of that here on FFL. Maybe if you would post some comments of your own I 
might make an exception, but I doubt it.

Upheaval this coming year in the US is very likely because all they did 
in 2008 was slap a band aid on the economic problem.  The wound now has 
festered and little or nothing can be done to fix it.  People are going 
to be screwed and more forced into poverty while that tiny, tiny 
percentage of rich punks make out like bandits (I think we should do 
something about that).


There are books of some of the Palm horoscopes.  What I noted was there 
is no ascendant so it is pretty much planetary significations.  However 
one that pretty much had my planetary configuration did a fair job in 
describing how my life.  Sorry but free will probably really doesn't 
exist and our lives are just patterns played out.  Divination can give 
you a hint about how it will go.

There's probably never in the history of the world that there has been a 
revolution based on poverty. Most revolutions are the result of 
political or religious ideology, not economics. It's pretty difficult to 
be revolutionary when you are broke and hungry because you can't even 
afford ammunition to fight with.

And, a revolution based on economics would hardly be an improvement 
anyway - any group that gets power is not going to want to share that 
power with the people. There's always going to be an underdog and a 
ruler, unless you're thinking there is going to be a heaven on earth. 
The American ideal is the closest the world has ever come to an 
egalitarian society based on freedom of the individual to indulge in a 
free market enterprise. You're not going to get that from communism, 
socialism, or a combination of these as long as there is an authetarian 
regime in power.

And, certainly you're not going to get a free society as long as there 
is inequality based on forced governance. The only recourse you have for 
change is through a democratic process. And anarchy would not solve any 
of our social problems in a modern world - it would just bring chaos.

Look up the French Revolution and the 1917 Russian Revolution.

Anarchy is the ideal form of democracy.  Everyone is at the same level.  
But after a while people want to offload running things on someone else 
so hierarchies begin to appear.
