I've noticed that a lot of people would rather place their faith and trust and lack thereof in evil overlords who control everything and historical causation, but personally, if there is such a "they" then I don't think they are any smarter than the rest of us, or even know just what they're doing or "what's really going on" in the final analysis, aliens included.
It's all up in the air.
Best wishes,

I think the thing is that I personally could hatch all sorts of nefarious schemes, had I only the means to carry them out. One only has to look as far as Enron, sub-prime mortgages, and similar scandals to catch a glimpse of what goes on among the 1%. The question then becomes "is this the extent of it, or are we just scratching the surface?" With all of the public outcry against ending Net Neutrality how is that measure still grinding forward? Because it serves the interests of the 1%. They are real.
