I'm the guy with the gun." I'm not sure it's going to be a good thing for everyone. But I'm trying to make sure it'll be a good thing for me and my family. It helps to see it coming. It's like, back in the days of Alexander Graham Bell, if you saw him talking on the phone and laughed it off. "Fuck this telephone shit. Who wants to talk to other people?" without seeing what it could mean. It applies to any other culture changing event. Ford and the Model T. "Fuck that car. I got a horse! Why do I need anything else?" The way I see it, you either build yourself an ark, or drown. The flood is coming, one way or another. And I'll be damned if I let my skillset get outsourced. I want to make myself indispensable. “Good, bad? I’m the guy with the gun.”

That was a pretty crazy book. Obviously we are moving toward a "one world" economy but is that a good thing? I'm not so sure. It's a mixed bag... Did you ever read Freakonomics?
