I believe that power does not depend on scribbles, rather the point of a sword. Perhaps folks with swords might rally around the Magna Carta.
Sadly, I think those with the swords are already rallied, and not around the Magna Carta, in the UK.
Fortunately for all of us, there is a new technology that might subsume swords altogether. The blockchain has unglimpsed potential to route around censorship, as does the darpanet.
However, as darpanet is being transformed by Gargle, Farkbork, and Twaddle into the greatest propaganda tool the world has ever seen, I fear similar application of C&C to blockchain.
We shall see how things shake out.
You are a wise old owl brother.
Well, I can verify old anyway =p
