The personal, as everyone's so fond of saying, is political. So if
some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that
harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The
Machinery of Justice will not serve you here - it is slow and cold, and it
is theirs. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the
creatures of power slide out from under with a wink and a grin. If you want
justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much
damage as you can. Get your message across. That way you stand a far better
chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous.
And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered
dangerous, marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes- between
players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people
they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your
displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult
that it's just business, it's politics, it's the way of the world, it's a
tough life, and that it's nothing personal. Well, Screw them. Make it
personal.
