Ah, you old hippy, you!lol.

I think where we are right now 'in the cycle' of things, is a place not suitable for fence sitters. (excluding old hippies of course)

Politics is down stream from culture, and so politics is never really about politics,(as in the party system) it's more about fundamental difference of perspectives and values.

The tipping point has come (for various reasons, but mostly banking and money at the heart of things).
It's about supporters of 'the system' (rightly or wrongly), and those that want a new direction.
Disruption of everything is a necessary (and unpleasant) part of he process..

I'll send you some lentils...lolol.
