You have overlooked the point that it is the intellgensia who are trying their damnedest to ignore this threat. eeyore is an example of the people who have assumed that these "smarter" people know what they are doing; thus, ignoring this threat is the "right" way to live. In the last few months, I've observed that, if a person A dares to criticize some aspect of an idea a famous person B had, tons of social pressure is applied to person A to retract the criticism. /BAH

My state's grocers haven't even waited for the bill to become law; the price of milk just increased by $.30/gallon. /BAH

Israel didn't even exist. Graham |
