Hmm, i find myself taking Debbie's side in this story.
Lookin round th world these days,
despite th relentless and gobsmacking stupidity of my species,
i see also signs that we'r finally evolving methods of resisting colonisation.

Blogs & other nettish word-o-mouth systems are an example.
Th corporations would love to stick their noses in here,
but they can't, it's too decentralised.
Th google-ads to th right? What ads?
I don't even bother with an adzapper any more,
my brain filters that shit out now,
i don't even see em much less click on em.
We winning this asymmetrical warfare by not playing th game.
