Well, after all, the Global Warming "Flush your money" scam is over?

From those who know, I have heard this description of the TSA: "Metastasized Postal Workers."

Anything to "Grow the Gubmint", eh?

The vocabulary of the discussion has its roots in the mission profile. Intimidate, don't use logic, we don't pay you to think, etc.

"Profiling" is the one word fault button to close down the discussion. Likewise "Racist", "Nut Job", "Tin-Foil Hat", etc. It is the vocabulary (always) of those in authority who wish to have Power, then more, and More. Polarize the discussion, foreclose criticism.

"Psychopath" is off target. The word one uses is "Sociopath", to define those who can together start Wars, Revolutions, etc. Economy of scale is to be avoided in the Political game book, for it is sheer numbers that can gather the authority to trap the population into submissiveness. Six Assassins could have neutralized Saddam. No money in that. Anyone else see a pattern? Now where's my "tinfoil Hat?".
