Watch the black smoke fly to heaven, See the red flame light the sky
January 27, 2008
BYE-BYE!
Read Elton John’s lyrics and think about it:
You tell me there’s an angel in your tree
Did he say he’d come to call on me
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It’s time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission
If we’re gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
It’s our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls

Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps = industry…

Sort of figured that was it. Getting frustrated with these guys huh?

I do not think it is the industry, but a player in the industry. What player needs to go away in order for the rest of us to survive??

bailok – its THE INDUSTRY. they’re a bunch of uneducated, illiterate lucky SOBs who fell into something and then screwed it all up because of greed and idiocy.
Pete – I’ve sold off everything that ties me to the industry and can now thankfully put this chapter of my life FAR behind me. I’ll keep an eye on things and laugh when there’s no more industry and paintballs are back up to 30 cents a ball. I’ll laugh even harder when they shift over to supporting airsoft because paintball just got too expensive – and I’ll be laughing at the airsoft industry for letting these guys in.
Things might change for the better in a few years – some ‘key’ patents will be expiring. I wonder what the power mongers are going to glom onto next?

That’s a good point, watching the flurry of paintball patent since I’ve been paying some attention I’d forgotten that they’ll expire. Definitely something to keep an eye for on the horizon.
