Sedit, I think jon is referring to Vesps quotes, although I'm not "sure" 
Sedit, my brother, you HAVE ALREADY contributed MUCH to this thread/topic. And as you know, "I", for one, really enjoy, your input.
PLEASE matey, speak your mind, your opinions are MUCH respected, and clearly have MUCH thought put into them
This IS a VERY complex topic, as its taken MANY years, to reach this 'point of control' the 'Powers that Be' are at.
Although this IS a OTC chem forum, we ARE essentially "people first, and chemists second" so consequently, if our "freedom" to LIVE is compromised, our "freedom to practice Clan Chem, is FUCKED!"
We NEED to get our "priorities right", i.e. if ya vacuum pump is fuckt, then who needs a monograph?
One "reason" I like what anonymous does, IS, that, its NOT a "coordinated group of script kiddies", IT IS, actually ALL of US, who CHOOSE to care.
Add the FACT, that "these cunts" DEPEND on "systems" CREATED by the 99%.....I think many of us are aware just HOW VULNERABLE Anyone IS, who "uses the www" to do business, ARE, to the "old coders with PRINCIPLES" who wanted the web to be a source of FREE data, knowing that "ignorance IS" the BASIS of such "fanatical extremist mentalities, and subsequent behaviour/s"
To "educate" these FOOLS is possibly, one of the "better" solutions. However, they're arrogant cunts, the "NeoCons" and Co, and they seem to be unaware just "how vulnerable" the Systems the RELY upon (to 'do business/make money') truly ARE, to the MASTERS, who wanted the web to be A SOURCE OF FREE INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE" and I KNOW, how "pissed off" some REALLY smart dudes ARE, that some "businessman" wants to "charge for the knowledge"
To be honest, I am actually looking forward to when these cunts get their "comuppence" from a bunch of "script kiddies and trolls"
Man, dont get me wrong, the SHIT is going to 'hit the fan' BUT i truly believe, that to "allow" what appears to be happening, re: the Laws and Constitution of the USA, (as ONE example, Oz is No angel here either) REQUIRES the "complicity" of the "people". whether "concious, or UNconscious"
"KNOWLEDGE IS POWER" and at this point, I REALLY want to THANK VESP, for establishing this forum, keeping it going, and PROVIDING a place for fuckwits such as myself, to NOT ONLY learn a great deal, about a favorite "hobby" but ALSO for making a "place" for all these peeps, from ALL OVER the World, to come together, and "share the Love"
Its "up to" ALL OF US, to DO what we can,............exactly "what" that IS, I honestly cant say, it's up to EACH person to decide.....That Vesp could be "bothered" to create this place, trying (very well imo) to continue the "concept" of "sharing the love online", like others places once had, (eg. "The Hive") HAS allowed us to "get here"
Sadly, the current "world situation" is not so good, for the ClanChemist/ry, BUT, the INFORMATION HERE, is "priceless" and the "minds" who CHOOSE
to participate ARE (imho) FULL OF WONDERFUL IDEAS, aka "wonderful"
IF, we CAN "help each other" even just 'a bit' we ARE on the way to MAKING positive changes. "Life" IS "change" and when the "strong winds of change" blow, only the "flexible" (of mind) are able to avoid "getting uprooted"
Personally, I think 2012 is gonna be a DOOZY
However, I am VERY grateful, to ALL the folks I've met "here" who HAVE been prepared to HELP me as I stumbled through MUCH learning, and the "opportunity to build relationships" that a forum like this provides, IS, (IMO) a REALLY GOOD THING.
CO-operation between "like minds' will be the ONLY thing which MAY stop, or at least reduce, the potentially REALLY FUCKED TIMES ahead.
I dont know "what exactly, I should/could DO" ....but I AM, very grateful to HAVE "all your great lateral 'minds' to give me (and others) the feedback occurring on these topics.
MAYBE, together, we can share IDEAS and DATA, which "makes THE difference"
At the moment, as much as I love chemistry, I figure that IF, this SHIT continues, and IF "the power's stopped" forums like this will cease to be, at least for some time, and it will be "each man/woman for themselves"
The MORE WE KNOW, about how each and ALL of the members feel/think, the GREATER our chances of "understanding" the chaos around the corner.
Honestly, the way "things ARE" currently, I have TOO MANY other issues to deal with, let alone find time to DO much "practical chemistry".......I "hope" this will change, but for the next 12 months or so, I'm NOT holding my breath
I am "expecting the UNexpected" (unlike many of the Sheeples) and with a bit of wisdom and luck, this attitude will 'pay off'
Merry (MD)x-mas
Stay happy and sweet dreams
