there's no use even having a conversation
if you're just gonna twist everything said.

let the robber barons keep their money, but for 
crying out loud, take the handcuffs off the machines.

i'm not asking anyone to "give their money away",
i'm simply asking them to make good on their
self-inflated grandiose claims of "innovation".

i haven't seen much of _anything_ in the last decade
that is even close to deserving an accolade so sweeping,
indeed i see plenty of evidence to the contrary every day.
for my money, andy g. has out-innovated all their millions.

but maybe i'm just blind to the progress that's been made.
perhaps someone would like to delineate it for me...
