power is not a thing to be owned. But if you believe that it is such a thing, losing it becomes a possibility to fear. That fear, I think, is one reason for the dark projections of a catastrophic future that are so widespread, in our dual society.

And the economists, for the most part, have sucked up to that money.
Jane Smiley

If you are born in 1564, your dislocation from your parents' experience is very profound.
