Wait a minute! This is not "pure stupidity" any more than Ghengis Khan's ride through Tartar states were. This is very large tribal politics played out on a larger field than we have ever known. The players have not reinvented the rules. The rules are the same: He who dies with more toys wins. It is very simple. It is just a question of dominance. We never address the righteous, or workability of the quest for dominance. We assume that its righteousness derives from evolutionary theory: the strong will survive (by eating the weak ones). But no one ever takes this theory to its end point. No one counts the cost to individuals for the "strongest to prevail"... No one can: The Players own the media... But why does no one address this "dominance" versus "submissive" issue? It is central to the war we are in. It is basic to our "human behavior"! What about the morality of "owning" the right to another's work? Gaining profits at another's expense? "But I'm superior," he insists. "I built up this enterprise from nothing." So be it, until it does not work. Enter the banksters... There seems to be an enormous sucking sound coming from... the Democratic Party? Could they be ignoring their very foundations? Could they be overlooking the power versus the people argument - because they are in bed with the power? Looks like it to me. illyia
