I like to watch people squirm in their own self-imposed contradictions. As you can tell, I'm more aggressive. I like to make people squirm in their own self-imposed contradictions. I just got off the phone with a salesman from AAA, the automobile association. The conversation became far ranging. He wanted a sale, I wanted an answer...... to why AAA is in support of anti-environmental policies like relaxing CAFE standards. He had no answer. But when I challenged him to pass my complaint about dunderheaded representation I was getting from AAA, he said he'd have someone call.....me. I lashed out and said I wasn't in need of disinformation. That AAA was in need of better sense. That didn't chase him away, so I got wild. I started in on how horrible the lawmaking process is and who is to blame. (Republican leadership acting as a totalitarian politburo.) He hung on. So I started in on "false flag" operations. The Meiring Case (1), the Lavon Affair (2), the Mossad agents caught on 9/11 (3). He was oblivious to all of these. He hung on. So I started to lower the boom on the Bushies. To talk about them as the enemy of the people. He weakly suggested he couldn't see much use for the nine Democratic candidates. (Giving credit where credit is due, at least he knew there were nine.) And that we had to carry a big stick. I inquired as to which false flag operator we ought to take the stick to. He panicked. And gave me excuse #14 to cut me off at the passage. "Sorry, late for a meeting.... gotta run". This small potatoes salesman is exactly who Upton Sinclair famously nailed with...... "It's impossible to make a man understand something when his livelihood depends on him not understanding it." *** NOTES: (1) defendsison.be (2) aljazeerah.info (3) sundayherald.com
