And with little or no distinction as to which Party is 'in charge'. When an oppressive Tyranny is in charge, is there any real difference whether the Slave Master is left-handed or right-handed? The sting of the lash is the same. > > Now I know what you all think .... "it's not exactly like that" And you're > right ..it's not.

I think you have illustrated it clearly enough for most. Those who don't understand are likely to be incapable of understanding, whether that is through Mental insufficiencies or inabilties to see beyond preconceived notions supported by propaganda. > > I was trying to make a similar point in an earlier post about comparing > "what America is turning into" ... versus WWII Hitler.

And as long as South Park, Talking Head 'News' services, Pro Sports etc. are on TV, few will watch the History channel, read a book or discuss any serious topics with their friends and neighbors in a knowledgeable manner. Hot Topics of discussion will continue to be Pro Sports and whatever topic Pop Culture TV has decided is deserving of a moments attention. In our current situation, who wins the next election matters about as much as who won the Super Bowl. Some Coaches will be retired, some will be promoted, some of the Players will retire, a few new ones will come in, but the Game itself will continue next year, pretty much the same as it did this year. > > sigh, Me too! > > Curtis Motie > Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/ Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.
