These definitions had more to with convenience and visibility that real threat.<BR/>They propagandized the population until the false image the leaders had of the world became accepted by the population as the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10767345.post-1159493080918850612006-09-28T21:24:00.000-04:002006-09-28T21:24:00.000-04:00Alice, as you have just learned, there are some, o...Alice, as you have just learned, there are some, or even many, people who have no real ideas of their own.<BR/>They follow, perhaps in lock step, some demagogue whose emotionalism attracted them, but whose ideas cannot stand analysis.<BR/>Those people are bankrupt, intellectually and ethically.<BR/>They are also devoid of much education and of much intelligence.<BR/>Therefore, their vocabulary consists very much of obscenities.<BR/>Their comments have been, rightly, removed.<BR/>And it will be difficult for such low-life trash to comment here ever again.<BR/>Let 'em stick to their probably Republican sites, where stupidity and obscenity are more at home.Michael Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850685330456445044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10767345.post-1159486688435783152006-09-28T19:38:00.000-04:002006-09-28T19:38:00.000-04:00Because I invite all, children included, I will at...Because I invite all, children included, I will attempt to remove objectionable language.<BR/><BR/>Go ahead and speak your piece. One prupose of this blog is to ruffle the feathers of collectivists of all stripes. You can say just as much using more intelligent language.<BR/><BR/>This isn't censorship. Blogspot owns it's blog space, and I am using this particular space. So, Blogspot has the right, and so do I, to remove the language.<BR/><BR/>You can always start your own blog.<BR/><BR/>But the use of material that some parents do not wish their children to see must not occur here.Alice Lilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731555062527562517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10767345.post-1159284363020288252006-09-26T11:26:00.000-04:002006-09-26T11:26:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10767345.post-1158448529684447072006-09-16T19:15:00.000-04:002006-09-16T19:15:00.000-04:00Abb, you hit the nail on the head!

And that may even be overstated. On an individual level, each politician is leveraging the system for personal gain. That is done through increasing their power.<BR/><BR/>They each learn tactics and strategies from each other. The goal is power. Power over humans can only be gained through a finite set of channels, hence the strong resemblance among the movements.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>libertarians simply revolt against any power over them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
