And those with the money currently control the energy. How we spend our energy is of the utmost importance.

Ahem, shouldn't that be how THEY spend THEIR energy? is of utmost importance to THEM .

From where I sit, in a position where I don't control much of anything, I'm getting the impression that those who do control the energy don't give a rodent's rear end about the rest of us. Maybe I missed something?

They dont know us personaly so why should they care about us? It is part of human nature to only care about those who are close to us or people we have a connection with, friends and family.
