“Brains, you know, are suspect in the Republican Party.” ~Walter J. Lippmann

who's prudence? prudence is STILL fear....fear comes in many little increments starting when one is born....even by liberal parents.....especially your precious public schools......

"The Unforgiven"
New blood joins this earth, And quickly he's subdued. Through constant pained disgrace The young boy learns their rules.
With time the child draws in. This whipping boy done wrong. Deprived of all his thoughts The young man struggles on and on.
He's known a vow unto his own, That never from this day His will they'll take away.
What I've felt, What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown. Never be. Never see. Won't see what might have been.
What I've felt, What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown. Never free. Never me. So I dub thee unforgiven.
They dedicate their lives To running all of his. He tries to please them all – This bitter man he is.
Throughout his life the same – He's battled constantly. This fight he cannot win – A tired man they see no longer cares.
The old man then prepares To die regretfully – That old man here is me.
What I've felt, What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown. Never be. Never see. Won't see what might have been.
What I've felt, What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown. Never free. Never me. So I dub thee unforgiven.

What I've felt, What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown. Never be. Never see. Won't see what might have been.
What I've felt, What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown. Never free. Never me. So I dub thee unforgiven.
Never free. Never me. So I dub thee unforgiven.
You labelled me, I'll label you. So I dub thee unforgiven.
Never free. Never me. So I dub thee unforgiven.
You labelled me, I'll label you. So I dub thee unforgiven.
Never free. Never me. So I dub thee unforgiven.

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

that's because they don't project onto other people a falsehood that people are 'little'....... that's just making people victim-ready......
there are different people with equal right to all things on earth...society makes casts such as the 'little man'...I don't think this is respectful to the human being......

do you want your country sitting on the backs of 'the poor little man', all the while saying how much the little man needs help because the little man is the backbone of this country? really?
you want those in elected power positions to bestow their perceived(or society's) value upon you, little man?
remember, no matter what you think you deserve there are 2 choices when looking for validation via your handlers:
1. be happy in what you are given and the place you have in society and give thanks to 'god' 2. waiting to get 'more value' bestowed upon you to keep you 'going' as a contributing citizen
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
