But to give the devil his due, how on earth COULD anyone who is privileged, rich, and powerful have any concern --much less respect-- for those who are SO gullible and thick-witted, SO lazy, SO timid, SO lacking in the basic survival instincts that one finds even in the lowliest insect, that they are perfectly willing to ACCEPT not just years but centuries and even millennia of enslavement to the likes of THEM -- a quite readily identifiable CRIMINAL class, which owes all it has to its ability to lie, steal, cheat and kill without hesitation or remorse, with no camouflage greater than DISSIMULATION, simply PRETENDING that what they are doing is NOT that but indeed the OPPOSITE? Self-deluding FOOLS are unworthy of respect. WEAKLINGS incapable of self-defense are unworthy of respect. Proud, self-righteous HYPOCRITES are unworthy of respect. ASS-KISSERS and BUCK-PASSERS are unworthy of respect. This recital of negative human characteristics unworthy of anything but CONTEMPT could go almost endlessly, and these descriptions, my friends, can be accurately applied to OURSELVES -- for if it were NOT true, how can you explain the incredible phenomenon of our SUBJECTION to a class of moral monstrosities, these ugliest of human predators whom we, their prey, HONOR rather than DESPISE and reward with the POWER to rule us --power WE give them, abdicating OUR power-- <snip> ----------------------------------------- I don't know who this person (below) is or where she is from, but it's quite clear that people are dying all over the world because American Citizens don't have the brains or the balls to stop electing to the Corporate Capitalist Criminal Class the power to Loot, Shoot, and Pollute no matter what the consequences. --- Joshua2 This is what others think of Americans...
