Sort of like the Gusano who, in 1963, called for "an inspired act of God" to "put a Texan in the White House" so that Castro could be eliminated, and then sat back until -- whudda thunk it -- God intervened?
Sorry, Jeffrey, but your conclusion that powerful forces with, in the long term, trillions of dollars and the survival of the very control system they dominate on the line are predisposed to sit passively and wait for their fates to be decided by chance passes neither the History nor the Laugh Tests.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
