Someone should do a study....
To see if Republicans are nastier, more aggressive, and hateful than Democrats. I recently read an article on Sarah Palin in the London Telegraph, and the comments following the article were primarily from those who disagreed with the article and most of them didn’t merely defend Palin, but jumped into name-calling and snide, untrue allegations against Obama, Biden, and the progressive political agenda. They seem to have a pit-bull mentality—all attack and no discourse. Civil disagreement is completely missing from the picture. I am wondering if their undisguised hatefulness is a product of listening to talk radio, with its army of hitmen setting the tone, or if the Republican platform attracts those personalities who are selfish, mean, greedy, and spiteful, and loud. When talking heads of each party are shown giving their opinions on cable commentary, the Republicans interrupt and shout over the Democrats (and are allowed to do so.) I am beginning to feel like we are the Eloi, doomed to be exploited by, and slaves to, a brutish master race of Morlocks.

1. I know I am a slave to the system. I make just enough money to keep
myself so-so healthy and able to return to work. I am just a cog in the wheel.
