“The Matrix is a system, Neo, and that system is our enemy. When you are inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters, the very minds we are trying to save. Until we do, these people are part of that system and that makes them our enemies. You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many are so hopelessly dependent on the system, they’ll fight to protect it. “The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.” - Morpheus, in the movie, “The Matrix”

I can only imagine what these people are going through. However I need to question the author, as to the Pilgrims being attacked?
Playing the Devils advocate, I read where there are improprieties on the Pilgrims part along with the previous land owner. The author makes the analogy of 2 computer owners. 1 savy and the other a novice. In context, I'll use the bulldozer. I take a bulldozer and drive it to town, I suspect I'm asking for trouble. ![]() |

From my experience in Alaska, this is typical of the urban "Rangers" often assigned there. Driving a bulldozer to town might not get you any comment, if you use a trail which has been in use by heavy tracked vehicles for years. Driving a bulldozer train across untracked virgin permafrost muskeg is allowed only to government agencies. There are places south of Nome where the muskeg has still not recovered from the building of the White Alice stations in the 50s. Rather than fly in a couple of small earthmovers and making a strip to handle the larger ones, the Feds moved a "Cat train" across a hundred miles of virgin, fragile ground to get their men up to the mountaintop site. During the construction, a native eskimo neighbor of the site got in trouble for driving a Goliath to Nome. The fact that he had a badly injured construction worker with him and saved the man's life did not help him one bit.
