You've got three days to get to him with your Milwaukee 6523-21 Super Sawzall 13 Amp Reciprocating Saw with Rotating Handle before he rises. After that, 2000 years of world domination!!!
...plus, will have all this data to play with, thanks to Tim-Berners Lee. Surely we can come up with a new and better way to organize society, right? Solve the poverty problem, etc? Dance with unicorns?
What if we "crowdsource" government at "www.wiki.gov" and see what happens? or maybe just use twitter? Of course, we need a new version of twitter for filibusters. Is that a "blog"? I digress.
Change the word "pretending" to the word "practicing". Talk about technology as an evolutionary advantage, right? We can practice in an environment without tangible consequences and then attempt to apply those principles in the real world. The only issue is that some or most never get back to the "real world" part. The positive twist is: at least we have their data for large scale modeling. In a "singularitarian" sense, assume that all the violent games are practice for war. If we gather enough data, modeling human warfare will be much easier (and with fewer casualties/causalities) than ACTUALLY engaging in real combat. Voila! World Peace! Isn't that what all this emphasis on technology is: making life better for ourselves...all of us?
I sleep comfortably knowing that consumers of (mostly) mindless entertainment along with viewers of CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News all help pay for what's routinely offered on C-SPAN.
I mean, really! It's like humans have a reputation for really screwing up the environment or something. Those other times were just anomalies. I'm sure it can't happen again.
Listen, just let me have the last word and we'll call it even - you're god is actually ok...I guess, and I promise not to change my speech to not make you feel bad. In fact, nothing but compliments to you from here on out. Promise.
So I dragged my Windows taskbar to the top of my desktop and, viola: tabs for my applications. Then, using VirtuaWin, I have multiple application "windows". Go figure. This is sooo 2001.
A terrorist isn't afraid of creating terror, else he/she wouldn't have made it through terrorist camp, right? Or maybe it takes one to know one. I dunno...just sayin'.
"What it takes to become rich is" completely up to good fortune and luck. "Entitlement" is the first folly of anyone who is successful. This leads to "greed", and then just pure, black "evil".
I did the cliche "IT to Construction Worker" maneuver and it was the smartest thing I've ever done. I spent about 4 years remodeling homes (I did the company's website, too). I learned everthing I needed to know about residential construction and quite a bit about fine wood working, too. I lived poor, drank cheap beer, and bitched with the best of them. Made really good friends and met some real characters (some I don't care to ever know again, too). Needless to say, I quit construction and went back into IT so I could afford to buy and remodel my own house. There's nothing more rewarding than building your own awesome fort! No regrets, here. I felt like the construction job was like a college degree in something that was a) worthwhile and b) something I really enjoyed doing.
Good luck.

I found the old idea to be sufficient. Lotsa folks died in the world just recently. Horribly. Sorry you feel like an idiot, though.
