Hi, Mike...nice to see you again! People who think like me are progressive. People who think like the proud and belligerent self-proclaimed RWEs on the SI website are regressive. Those who have no jobs in the future will gladly drive the trains to the Dachau extermination camps in order to survive themselves, IMO. lb

THEY want to be SAFE.. An insightful observation. If one couples that with a need for simple black 'n' white answers to all questions, one begins to see the source of Bush's popularity. While it's more than a little pedantic, the following gives considerable insight into the conservative mind. faculty-gsb.stanford.edu Germain to this discussion is the part about uncertainty avoidance.

c(see) "As I think an individual is just a microcosim of society, it is very telling.. Very telling as it says something about the leadership of such.." America has the highest prison population of Any developed country...... highest murder rate... and other not so honorable positions that make 'other' civilized nations..only shake their heads.... As Timothy Mc Veigh was about to be sentenced for the Ok.City Bombing...he was asked If he would like to speak.. He did...he rose and said... "I wish to use the words of Justice Brandeis... dissenting in 'Olmstead' to speak for me. He wrote.. 'Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the Whole people by its example' " When McVeigh's court appointed psychiatrist was asked if McV was mentally ill.. He stated... 'Mc V. acted not because he was deranged, but because he was serious.' T
