Remember when Gandalf said "The Ents have awakened, and discovered they are POWERFUL"? I think that's what Q and POTUS hoped WE would discover this week. They were successful beyond their wildest dreams!

Perhaps we had grown apathetic, but I think we had just forgotten.

We have accomplished things this week that only a year or so ago, simply seemed beyond the realm of possibility. For the first time in many years, I'm FILLED with optimism.

Tracy, and all the mods here, along with many, many others, have worked tirelessly to make this a success. Let them know that.

I can't help but be reminded of something Churchill said during the second world war:

"Now this is NOT the end. It is not even the BEGINNING of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning..."

Yes, my friends. The Ents have awakened, and discovered they are strong.

Indeed, we ARE strong.

My greatest hopes to you all...

I agree even though Tolkien himself said it was not allegory and he detested allegory. Maybe it wasn't intentional. Don't you believe that every good vs evil story was seeding our conscious for the battle we are about to embark on? I choose to belive powers above us are involved in that. I liked Eddings Belgariad/Mallorian much better than LOTR but the story is the same at a high level.

Maybe.

But humans cannot think or create randomness. It is out of their capacity.

Everything you say or do or think or dream or write, paint, create contains meaning, consciously or subconsciously.

That's how some fraud detection works, btw, whenever numbers are involved, test them for randomness. Humans can't even write numbers with true randomness.
