...this movement is about. See, what you have to understand ... is that the fate of the world, the fate of the republic, the fate of the next president, the fate of the polar bears, the fate of low-income people and rural and urban... in four.

... everything including the Kings in the West. So, if you tossed a few things around you may see that it's more than just 20th century style fascism. It's more basic than that. Time to dust off one's copy of the Republic by Aristotle and read the warnings there and by Plato. The King is dead, long live the King. <smile> But the world and ideas are much broader and larger than just the West. There's a whole world out there, and 6 ...

Republics work well as long as the pie is expanding. But when that stops, the exploitation of the power elite increases so that they can continue to have increasing levels of bounty, thus giving them the illusion ...

...agents tried to deport Michel Shango, he slammed his head, hard, against the outside of the van that had come to pick him up at Atlanta's city jail. Instead of being driven to the airport, then flown to the Democratic Republic of Congo, he was brought back to the jail so his wound could be tended to. "I asked him why he feared being returned back to his country," an immigration officer wrote of the incident. Shango, now 42, replied that ...

... composed a decade ago. Since its all digital, I update it every couple years, and expect to do that again after the election. If we have an election. My take on Machiavelli suggests aristocracies always corrupt republics, thereby impoverishing all lower classes, and then a demagogue arises out of nowhere to seize all power and rebalance the books.

... the general election, I guess. did not cave by selecting Hillary. That's right.
