Raymond > Contrasted to the muddle-headed supporters of George Bush here on SI who are either blood-thirsty curs or truly clueless fools. That's why I mentioned about people being brainwashed against their own self-interest. Sure, one can understand their support for and loyalty to this regime if they actually got something out of it, but they don't. In fact, they are being screwed at every turn. So I can only speculate that the reason they are so supportive is because they imagine that the alternative is worse. Something like the "battered wife" syndrome (especially points 3 and 4, below). divorcenet.com >>>"Battered woman syndrome describes a pattern of psychological and behavioral symptoms found in women living in battering relationships." People v. Romero, 13 Cal Rptr 2d 332, 336 (Cal App 2d Dist. 1992); See Walker, L., The Battered Woman Syndrome (1984) p. 95-97. There are four general characteristics of the syndrome: 1. The woman believes that the violence was her fault. 2. The woman has an inability to place the responsibility for the violence elsewhere. 3. The woman fears for her life and/or her children's lives. 4. The woman has an irrational belief that the abuser is omnipresent and omniscient. <<<
