#1, You are rural #2, You are "not wealthy" = poor #3, You know or are a blacksmith/machinist #4, You need power #5, You build a small power plant for your village
It would be helpful if you had read about the mathematics of Aristarchus of Samos, and the pure scientific method it represents! Go ahead, try to wiggle out of that one!
Easy to build and will run on any heat source from reflected sunlight to biomethane to peat or alcohol. And the village blacksmith can build one, no factory needed!
You are mistaken, they did have a "scientific revolution" the Greek world extended beyond Greece, look into the extended sphere of Greek culture, I would suggest that Syracuse on the Island of Sicily Alexandria in Egypt and all of the extended influence of Hellenism well into Roman times and it was the heavy hand of Roman bureaucratic interference and Stoic philosophy that finally brought it to a standstill!
The things we know about are too numerous to put here, the number we have never even heard about are probably even more amazing, remember that the loss of mankind's greatest legacy of wisdom and knowledge happened when the mob burned the great library at Alexandria.
It wasn't until the nineteenth century that we even began to equal what was lost.
Where have you been living these past 10 years? Freedom? Freedom to do what? Where? Free what? This is government by bribery, lobbyists, and the largest criminal organization in world history! If there ever was "freedom" it was always for the few at the expense of the many!
There are darker things on the horizon than you can imagine.
It was a bribe, if you didn't pay it the ax would be used to saw, not chop, or the noose would strangle not break the neck, or the garrote would not be used prior to lighting the fire!
Governments are and have been the enemy of the common man! It is only in the past 50 years in a very few countries that there has been a movement towards a truly humane and democratic state that actually represents the interests of it's people.
"Is freedom technically outlawed yet in the states?"
Yes, in fact we have the most restrictive, highly surveilled, regulated, paranoid "Police State" in the so-called "free" world! The only "freedom" we have is the "right" to own lots and lots of guns!
The cops, and especially the DA will, in many jurisdictions try to close as many cases as possible without resorting to any real investigation, in short, they will pin it on the first patsy that looks simple and poor enough to make it stick, ex-cons, the illiterate, the mentally challenged are all ready fodder for the young ADA to make his conviction rate go up so as to advance his/her career. Plea deals, coerced confessions, jinky evidence and judges with low blood sugar, lead us into being the largest incarcerator in the world!
And he wants this corrupt machine to have MORE information abut him? Let's just help the executioner grease the guillotine before we lay down.
Drive, buy an older used car (without electronics) keep your cell phone in a static bag with the battery removed, take secondary roads, pay cash for gasoline, food, etc.
When I was in grammar school (what we used to call K->8), we used to have Civil Defense drills (air raid drills) where we would get under our desks and kiss our asses goodbye!
I would answer the kid that in today's world most of the jobs that require a CS degree either go to foreign work visas or are outsourced to Asia and the best bet to get a job is anything in medical!
Defense (offense) (the ongoing useless, futile wars) and the plethora of secretly funded military programs make up almost 70% of the total budget, but as the governmental pie charts don't even list these expenditures most people innocently believe the lies that Social Security and Medicare are to blame, when, in fact SS is partially funding other activities (off the books) and is solvent for the foreseeable future, medicare is expensive because the gov can't bargain with drug companies or hospitals and MUST pay whatever is demanded! You can thank the crooked scum in Washington for the mess that we're in, remember EVERYTHING the government says should be regarded as a LIE!
The return of the Inquisition! We KNOW that you're going be a TERRORIST, so we are going to torture you until you confess! Oh wait! Obamemall says that "we don't torture", we send you to Kazakhstan and THEY torture you. No "Habeas Corpus" No "Presumption of innocence" No "Right against self incrimination"
In other words, No rights, AND you can be terminated (killed) because some bureaucrat decides that you (might) be a TERRORIST! And who, in fact, are the REAL terrorists?

Multiple warheads were the standard for ICBM's by the mid 1960's, bomber delivery was abandoned in the late 1950's.
Dummy entrances, angled blast-by down-tunnel subdoors leading to hidden pressure vents, location misdirection, laminated corbeled superstructure, etc.
