‘There will be a reckoning. When the worm turns, and the people rise — and they will; I’m becoming ever more convinced of it — there will be a reckoning of such fury that the flames will be visible from the Moon.
This cannot go on…and it will not.’
Mr. Porretto is a writer and thinker I have enormous respect for, but it seems increasingly unlikely to me that there will be anything like an uprising against intrusive, unlawful and arrogant government and bureaucracy. We’ve reached the point where people are numb to the latest outrage, as insult upon insult is piled on at an increasing rate. And those who aren’t numb to it are either unaware or indifferent. Will there be a spark which will become a conflagration?
