I notice more and more people trying to push us into stage 4 - "Maybe there was something we could have done but it's too late now" - just so we can put all of the uncomfortable guilt behind us.
If a group of college students in 1985 could make a highly-trained riot police force cry "FALL BACK! FALL BACK!" with shit in their pants and the fear of God in their eyes, all because the construction of an airport was screwing over a small farming community a bit east of Tokyo... Then one can only imagine what the entire fucking world could do in retribution of its own destruction, to a group of inhumane ghouls who could all comfortably fit on a single Boeing 747.
