Sad thing is, y'all might as well be speaking Farsi. I don't get it, and never will. Yet I know, its where the war for freedom will be fought, to keep the net open. I feel like a caveman with a post grad degree. I can can bring an AR to a gunfight. I can tell you how to put Saul Alynski into action (name your cause, left or right, I can raise a ruckus). I can can tell you how to organize a petition drive or a direct mail campaign.I've worked on campaigns for three parties in congressional races. I know why revolutions suceed and fail, and I can write a to the point letter to the editor or put five in a playing card at 200 yards. But years of study, not being particulary dumb, and understanding the stakes? I still can't decipher my cell phone. Give me a gun fight, a debate, a speech, or a petition drive and I'm your huckleberry. Give me a means to reroute email to a proxy server? I'm someone else's bitch, everytime, all the time.

I am an analog guy in a digital world. I've posted this before, but I'll do it again, just because it sums it up. I wish y'all well, just call me when you need a speech written or the shooting starts, because until then? I'm plumb useless. I doubt I'm alone.
