John Galt did not mean to scare you out of your wits, AJ, but...
>>Politics, as dictated by human nature, is about power.<<
Wrong. Politics can be about empowerment normally achieved through
crafty means.
>>You figure the Jews didn't think the Romans obvious in their politics?<<
No. They were aware of their own enslavement, particularly as Rome became more democratic.
>>You suppose the enslaved Africans didn't comprehend the political significance of Southern seccession?<<
No. They were aware of their own enslavement, particularly when Lincoln duped the masses into believing the civil war was about slavery. Helped to enlist men.
>>Yesterday you considered yourself free. Now, you consider yourself oppressed, your rights impinged. Suddenly political ambition is easily discernable to you. I respectfully submit that you just woke up<<
John Galt does not take politics lightly. His positions are substantitive and are not fly-by-night, whatever is correct for the moment.
>>This begs the question as to why people like Al Gore extol the virtues of the internet, politics being what they so obviously
are. Al and the cronies are with us, right?<<
Thank Galt, today's leaders have little intelligence.
>>As you suggest, the dimly lit masses will indeed let this opportunity be manipulated through their fingers like the others before.<<
The irony is that this communications revolution should lift the general I.Q. of the public no matter to what extent they try to prevent it.
