There is a comfort I am finding in realizing that the Beltway Bandit class would consider me, and my simple back woods living ways, just white trash to be ignored.

Why comfort?

Because there is tremendous power in being underestimated, overlooked, and ignored.

Or did you think the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings were not allegorical?

I mean...

The Ring of Power, designed to centralize all power under itself, which corrupts all who wield it and bends them to its will, is taken by a small, unimportant person who the enemy will ignore, and is thrown back into hell where it belongs.

Seems kinda allegorical.

Tolkien was a close friend of C.S. Lewis, and self confessed anarchist after all...
