I think that they are pursuing their own best interests (which they construe to
be the best interests of everyone except the designated scapegoat) and in doing
so are not paying attention to the costs to others outside their sphere of
protection and ignore/misunderstand the real long term ramifications of what
they do.
Those of use opposed to their actions, are, at the end of the day, pursuing
what we think are our best interests (even if we self-sacrifice, we made a
decision that is best for us) and by extension, the best interests of the
people we care about (be it the whole world). From their viewpoint, we are
probably trying to dupe them into giving up on what they believe is the best
for the world and their family.
So there you have it, a vast corporate/military power trying to protects its
world from a vast oil/religion power trying to expand its world (to protect it
from implosion) and a weak power of reason not rising to meet the challenge.
If you want to have a chance at winning this war, you can't cripple either side
alone - you have to defeat them both... how are you going to do this? Neither
of the two militant powers are going to listen to reason, why should they, in
their view if they give in to reason the other militant power wins the game.
There is no trust on either side.
I am afraid that the only solution is to kick both their asses, which opens up
a whole lot of problems of its own. Otherwise, try to bet on the winner and
wait.
It would be really cool if some great charismatic leader showed up that both
sides would trust.

What, and have the yokels break the crystals. Besides, I spend money faster
than I make it. And this year, for some besotten reason, I decided to "give"
artwork and software away. Go figure. Things are looking up though, I've got
some interesting new partnerships forming...maybe a new corporation is being
birthed...stay tuned, this time I am staying totally in the art.

Re: Three Ideas Which Failed To Elicit Responses on Thingist
I'll have to think about these, but glad to see some creative business in the
air. As for #3, it immediately strikes me that while travelling this summer I
noticed that Gas Pumps now have little color screens with digital commercials,
so why not add them into the mix. Couple cents extra per gallon is not a small
price to pay to spread net.art is it?
