I recently called Rita Obey, the go between, as it were, for the individuals trying to set up the station and those 'in charge'. Apparently, those persons willing to set up a station requested multiple offices inside the dome and other supplies to broadcast their station (there must be a physical place to broadcast from ). These were not granted because, in her words, 'we dont have the resources to do this'. Its a good idea. I hope people figure out a way to make it work.
I fear any group with an interrest in me and having access to greater resources than i do. This includes, but is not limited to, organized governments. The list of fear factor goes as follows:
1.US govt-for pissing on international law and our own bill of rights, for operating the largest military in the world with the most destructive weapons, and for pursuing technology and resources to monitor every member of every nation.
2.US citizens-on the whole, they are a dumb, mindless sheep herd. they supply the govt with its power and operate outside their laws when they feel like it-just like our govt!
3.my ex girlfried-she knows my weaknesses and, given a reason and chance, will exploit them.
4.fanatical groups-this includes religious zealots (militaristic or not), hicks, those that support those in power because they hold power.
5.all other governments/agencies/groups of people who would put their own agenda over other's lives and refuse to use diplomacy instead of murder.
thats about it-i dont really fear the 'terrorists' our country is 'at war' with. i'm going to die sometime, if its in a show of defiance to those listed above then i'll accept that. better, although less likely, than getting killed in a car wreck.
I live in the burgh and that really pisses me off. If they cant take what they dish out, maybe they should stop throwing their weight around and let us live in peace.
