Oh, yes! The power brokers have been in power to long (2k years) and are
too fat and too happy. Maybe after the next shuffle, the hands will be more
evenly distributed.

Well, not exactly in a direct way but indirectly. They at least try to shape
and regulate. Illusion? I agree completely with that. Since it is an illusion
that has been shaped and regulated (to some extent) by He Who Has The Gold,
I would be its not in most people's best interest or maybe I should say "
it could be better".

Yes, I agree. I think initially there would be a vicious struggle between
the different sections of the society. Then, after a time, there would be
a normalization and things would start to evolve. For a few years though,
things would be in quite a bit of turmoil. Though, as you look back
through history, you will notice that the world changes faster today with
less pain than, say, even 20 years ago. Maybe by the time the supposed
"Grey Day" comes, we will take it in stride with only a stock market
hiccouph and a day or two of CNN special reports.

I hope I am not correct. I hope I am underestimating society dramatically.
That fact would make any kind of supposed alien transitional period much
less severe.

Now, isn't that refreshing! Thanks for reminding me. I forget sometimes but you
are correct. As (at least humans in the USA) are becomming more educated, 
its much harder to be controlled and manipulated by society's power brokers who
do it mainly for their own benefit. Grey Day would kick this trend into over-
drive. Nifty!

Read a couple abduction books (maybe you have already) and this will become
more clear than ever. Yeah, they have an agenda and its progressing faster
than ever before. I can see all the peices of the supposed puzzle but I am 
still asking "why?" I am about 3/4 the way through David M. Jacobs "Secret
Life" and I am still at a loss to answer that question. Guess I will just
have to ask them directly.

My seatbelts are automatic. I am just waiting, hopefully for some-
thing more than nothing...with Turtle wax in one hand but a stick of dynamite
in my belt, just in case the ride is not a pleasant one.
