... that they've used over and over in their talking points over the last couple of years. I think the irony escapes them that the full phrase is "One bad apple spoils the whole barrel". Kind of alters the meaning a bit, eh?

my personal view of this subject..if we cant legislate out the Phenomenological IRON LAW OF OLIGARCHY http://bitbucket.icaap.org/dict.pl?alpha=1
"snip...ON LAW OF OLIGARCHY First defined by German sociologist Robert Michels (1876-1936), this refers to the inherent tendency of all complex organizations, including radical or socialist political parties and labour unions, to develop a ruling clique of leaders with interests in the organization itself rather than in its official aims. These leaders, Michels argued, came to desire leadership and its status and rewards more than any commitment to goals. Inevitably, their influence was conservative, seeking to preserve and enhance the organization and not to endanger it by any radical action. Michels based his argument on the simple observation that day-to-day running of a complex organization by its mass membership was impossible. Therefore, professional full-time leadership and direction was required. In theory the leaders of the organization were subject to control by the mass membership, through delegate conferences and membership voting, but, in reality, the leaders were in the dominant position. They possessed the experience and expertise in running the organization, they came to control the means of communication within the organization and they monopolized the public status of representing the organization. It became difficult for the mass membership to provide any effective counterweight to this professional, entrenched, leadership. Michels also argued that these inherent organizational tendencies were strengthened by a mass psychology of leadership dependency, he felt that people had a basic psychological need to be led. ...snip"

then we must consider that.. they may need to be put in walled Reservations and prevented from breeding, it's the only way to humanely deal with them. we are all Doomed if they are left to continue to FUCK everything up and profit from it, they are bad enough alone.. but thru the Iron Law of Oligarchy only the truly and severely mentally ill take over the organization. but the end product is that they are obsessive compulsive sociopaths and some psychopathic and all out of control." :shrug:

they have totally messed up the 21st Century.. they have proven beyond ANY DOUBT their ideology is a complete failure, AGAIN. THEIR TORTURING MURDERIOUS GENOCIDAL ASSAULT ON on central and south america during Reagan/Bu$h/Kissinger/Milton Friedman should have told the world what they were, but we allowed them to rewrite history ane get away with murdering and torturing to death 250,000 people..declared Genocide by the UN. and we are allowing them to do it again by validating them in Obama's government and ignoring their horific NEW CRIMES
