Therefore I believe that 99% of the people that make up the system are good people doing their jobs conscientiously. What I constantly TALK about are the 1%, inside the system and out, who manipulate the system. Since it only takes a little bit of cancer, and that 1% does the most harm, that's what we talk about. By that way of thinking I could say that you constantly complain about socialism, but I'm sure you don't see it that way. The system is fine; it's SOME of the people in it that aren't. The "system" isn't racist, some of the people in it are. It's as simple as that.

One could draw a parallel between the ancient disregard for Christians during the Roman Empire and the modern disregard for Arab (some are Muslim) lives during this age of oil fueled abstraction. I suggest we not repeat the story.

As long as the 99 percent are willing to endorse and enforce the toxic manipulations of the 1 percent...and permit compounding ... only takes a few bad apples to ferment the entire crop.

With the theory stated above it would not matter how many guns there were in the world. 99% of people are good. 1% is a statistical anomaly. It is LUDICROUS to punish 99% of the population because you are scared of 1%. Thanks for explaining.

Rather, The Color of Law incontrovertibly makes clear that it was de jure segregation―the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments―that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day."

Anyone who says, or implies, that I have ever been for total prohibition of all guns, or that I seek some sort of perfect utopic society, is a liar. 99% of the population don't want to own a high powered weapon , so it is LUDICROUS to punish the majority of those of us, so a small percentage of gun owners can indulge in Rambo fantasies. Or racist "patriotic" fantasies. Remember, these mutts believed they were doing the patriotic thing.

Yes Danny, we've established it is racist a long time ago. And despite your jab, I remember your post saying so. That's not the issue of contention here. Rather, it's twister' s denial that Murica implies an accent.
Seems only one of us is keeping up. (Return jab) |

It is just ironic that those who cry racist and hate so loudly don't mind being racist and hateful of other groups. Hypocrisy seems not to bother people any more just so their agenda gets pushed forward.
It is actually what I enjoy about landmark. He is consistent. I may disagree about the content, but he is intellectually honest with himself and consistent.
