ELYSSE, an excellent hard hitting post, but one in which I totally believe as well, except I suspect you're a bit more optimistic than I on many fronts.
So many of our systems, from our government on down, have , imo become rotten to the core. Our politicians are bought, our major companies rule and our supreme court, our last bastion, is making such as Citizen's United the law of the land.
Sorry, but we are clearly, imo going the way of all great, long gone empires. Greed and corruption destroy. Democracy's great experiment, while far, far better than most non-democratic places in the world, many of which are beyond sad, is clearly on it's death bed.
History shows this is the genesis of revolutions, plain and simple.
Bringing it back home, sometimes forces become so powerful, like the advent of the world of stem cell medicine, or the middle eastern uprising, that they can miraculosly overcome the corrupt state of affairs and bring about meaningful change.
Even more at home, there is no way the WORLD will stand by if ACTC is successful and not let it emerge. For us, how good of a job management is able to do in the days ahead, will determine how financially successful we are.
