Oddly enough, finding recruits is easy. Never go after the elite. Go after the hungry.

My associates build and I gather.

Entrepreneurs with abundant resources revise plans for established defenses inaccessible by conventional forces.

Wouldn't you like to be the first to rule a brand-new sphere, able to collect docking fees and issue mining permits in the name of your own political entity, knowing you controlled the currency values of political entities on the neighbouring sphere?

The art of doing business with all the power at your (and thus, your colleagues'/associates') disposal.

The ultimate end-around maneuver.

Your ubiquity superfluous and omnipresent, duplicate copies upon duplicate copies spread out, over and in the competition's domain, virtually indestructible?

How can the competition eliminate you if you're part of them? Would they know they handed you the key to unlock their guarded secrets by NOT sharing them with you?

I'm a tired, middle-aged man who has figured out too many simple games we play and want something more than mass hypnosis and tomfoolery. I want to rule a small body circling around our planet for the fun of setting up an ecosystem of living beings adapted to low gravity and lack of a lot of symbionts (not forgetting other harsh conditions).

This is a blog. Words. Inside and outside of real life.

I'm not interested in snapping my fingers and causing massive earthquakes through the "magic" of science or toppling empires through mass media messaging.

I wonder. I imagine. I ask questions. I am unimportant.

I just figured out that I got your attention with this blog (how quickly I forget; never was my whole reason for being here, merely an easy place to store/backup my notes). Guess I better stay the course, huh?

Our species, our family, is all that counts and all I'm concerned about. That's what most of us only ever really know about and I want us to keep it that way, as secure as we can be in this day and age, as technologically backwards as it is.

One of you will see a new type of government centered on the Moon. With it comes its relationship with the rest of our solar system governments. I envy you, whoever you will be then. In the meantime, learn to lead, to coach, to mentor, to manage effectively, and remember you are family. Just like the rest of us.

We'll be keeping tabs on you. Don't worry, we'll nurture you along and ease you into your position of responsible power sharing when you/we see you're ready. It's what we do, what we've always done. Taking care of family, like a distant benefactor/relative rarely letting you know we're around.

Time for me to slip back into anonymity, the aimless wandering wonderer, humbly staying out of people's way, ending intolerance wherever feasible.

Hard to be an irresponsible practical joker and solemn, serious leader at the same time. Or is it? Hardly! Hardily! Half-Heartedly!
