Thanks, Marcus.
I agree with most of what you say, but - just to be obnoxious - doesn't cooperation of any kind make us vulnerable to manipulation? Nick Nicholas S.

Nick writes: "Because part of what I was looking for from this inquiry was somebody to FOLLOW in the next four years. But is that avoidable. Isn't concerted action what we will need?" Systems that involve having somebody to follow are systems that can be surveilled and controlled. If people are informed (#8) and act autonomously or in a multi-lateral fashion (#s 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15), it is harder for the bullies to prepare a defense. I think #18 and #19 are pretty dark for most folks to consider so far, but I'm glad there are professors that aren't sugar-coating it. Marcus
