Re: Game of Thrones Spoilers

1. Not every fan is going to be able to see the episode the night it comes out.

2. People checking their FB or Twitter feed might see anything I post, including spoilers about the episode.

3. The other fans want to enjoy every bit of the suspense that I got to enjoy when I watched the episode.

4. Even if a plot development may not be a total surprise, spoilers still KILL ALL suspense about that plot point.

4a. Even if you know something's probably going to happen, you don't know which episode you're going to get it in.

5. Game of Thrones is one of the most popular TV shows ever, with so many really devoted fans like me...

6. So when I'm excited about something that happened in a new episode, I discuss it in private conversations on social media or in person with other people who I know have already seen the episode.

7. Not on a public feed that someone casually scrolling through might have their experience ruined a little.

8. If you're a good fan and really love the show, you should care about the other fans' experience too.

9. That small consideration for other people is a matter of basic decency.

It's the kind of world I want to live in.

The occupiers point out a legitimate concern that "the 1%" control vastly more power and wealth than "the 99%", and corporations have accumulated more power and privilege than is healthy for an open society. Some other concerns and demands are absurd, but the heart of the matter is on track. The question is why has this happened? While many on the left are quick to blame a nebulous thing called "greed", or lack of regulation, the matter is more complicated than that. This calls for a Lord of the Rings metaphor. Let's say that Sauron, the big cheese bad guy of Lord of the Rings, is the corporate hegemony. The 1%. Most people in Middle Earth agree that this is a problem, but there are a few differ...
