<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>And, in part Carl, that is what makes them mental
midgets and often moral idiots as well. In my limited experiences of 68
years, I have rarely or ever heard anyone exclaim, <FONT
face="Times New Roman">"Thank god I'm not like those lesser folk!" They
typically presume that they are superior and deserving of what they have and get
as a god given entitlement and right whereas those lesser folks are not so
entitled to or deserve anything except by virtue of the charity of their
superiors. After all, those who conceive of themselves as superiors
</FONT>resume to have god on their side so they can do no wrong; whereas the
lesser wretches are godless undeserving creatures who have been placed on the
earth to make the lives of their superiors more comfortable and easier at
whatever cost to the lessers.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Primarily because Carl has apparently experienced resounding success in
that endeavor. ;-) </DIV>

<DIV>These folks are not really mental midgets, though, Laurie. They're
actually quite enlightened. They're just brainwashed by the corporate
media. They'd see right through the spin if only they were properly
instructed. ;-)</DIV>
