You have greater faith in the decency of the people in power. Thhat is
our big disagreement. I have faith that they will remain as unscrupulous,
bloodthirsty and ruthless as >ever...................bobford
Bob; I think you have totally misunderstood me. I have absolutely NO faith
in the people in power. The power-hungry are a whole different species. I
ignore them and stay out of their world as much as possible; the only
relevance they have for me is when their world overlaps mine and they try to
control my life. I'm not invested in their economic world, so they can play
their power games as much as they like. The 'culture' where they can get
away with their shenanagans is THEIR culture, not mine. I live in a
different world, with a different culture. You are more in their world than
in mine, so it's hard to explain how irrelevant their actions are to me.
It's the many, many 'normal' people I have faith in. People who sooner or
later will see that the emperor has no clothes. People who will only put up
with so much of this nonsense. They are still out there; they just have to
get sufficiently riled. Maybe it won't happen if my lifetime, but I think if
Obama delivers more of the same (as it's looking like he will), there's
going to be a lot of angry people.Sooner or later, something is going to
blow.
