DUmmy Mythsaje, having spurned coach's outreached hand and the warm sanctuary of his walnut-panelled study, is once again huddled in a corner of his cold hovel, surrounded by unopened cartons full of unread and unreadable dragon tales. In desperation, he's resuming his quest to reach the promised land of the DUmp "greatest" page, where thousands of people with obscene amounts of disposable income will read his stupid post and think, "I really need to buy some pamphlets with stories about dragons and knights with magical powers."
At least he isn't whining about the hated "unrec" feature.

Original message
A different notion of Democracy
I once heard/read a story about the first contact between Americans and Hopi people where democracy was discussed, as practiced by the Americans, and as practiced by the Hopi. Upon hearing of the American way, the Hopi asked "but what about the minority views? What do they get from society for participating? Would not a functioning democracy need to hear and take into consideration all points of view so that no one is left out of the decision-making process?"
You know, that sounds like exactly what a Hopi would say. This guy really knows dialogue!
Blah, blah, socialists are so smart, blah
We can embrace ideas different than our own, take them into us and try to figure out if they have any merit, and, if not, we reject them. This is not a weakness. We can see things from the perspective of other people. This is also not a weakness.
If we have a weakness, it's too much of a tendency to give people like them the benefit of the doubt. We like to see the best in things, but ignore the patterns of behavior that suggest trouble to come. We may give a few too many chances.
Blah, blah, revolution, blah.
The irony is that a revolt on the left would involve our best and brightest, for they would be the ones that best understood the necessity. On the right, however, it would involve their worst and dimmest, for only they would be stupid enough to kill in a war against people who set out to save them.
It's been posted her many times how a Conservative's brain chemistry is so different than ours. Maybe we should stop treating them as though we believe our arguments will do any good. The only thing they're capable of understanding is force and the threat of force. That's their language.
You can always learn. Until I read this, I never suspected they had either a best, or a brightest. They must keep those guys hidden somewhere.
Blah, blah.
And they can convince enough of our representatives to give us a great deal of grief in the process. They're fighting a war--we're just trying to make the country work.
How's that for a failure to communicate?
I don't know about you, but when I finished reading that childish essay, I had a strong desire to buy a dragon tale.

Maybe if the DUmmies hadn't swallowed all the chemicals in their chemistry set, their brain would work right too.

I just love it when DUmmies spew some ignorant bullshit such as this. Makes me want to go load magazines. :evillaugh:

Excuse me here, what is being said about our American Aborigines as to social consciousness ?
It is a long and never ending story of civiliations that are over taken by those with others that take over others with greater straingth or better weapoons.
This is the why it goes, the weapon may be money, influence or greed.
What are you doing to protect your family and your self from what Gobucks, are you going to sit in a library and coimplain or are you going to move your butt to make a statement.
If you have any money after you pay the bills, Gobucks, stash it to buy a safe place, screw the beer and drugs, this country is is nothing like it was when you were born.

Wow, American Aborigines! ! A real-life DUmmy. And not just a garden variety, but a Troofer as well! MIHOP or LIHOP? My money says this one is a MIHOPper.
I would like to change my vote on that poll the other day, re communicating with DUmmies.

If you insist on posting whilst intoxicated, at least have the common courtesy to use spell check, DUmmie.

Dang, that dumb sumbitch can't even stick to his own thesis without defeating it himself.

Vesta was trying to make a good point I think.
For the Hopi, too bad so sad, buh bye, your time is up.
Lets hope Obama doesn't bring our time to an end.
I think that was the point.

What a load of horse shit. America is not and never has been a democracy. It was modeled in part on the Iroquois Confederacy.

You'll have to enlighten me on that one. Sounds like a "Crock"! LOL!

What the hell this supposed to mean? Survival of the fittest is pretty much the way things work, even in the idyllic natural world of the Hopi.
The rest is just coherent and I don't see what it has to do with Mythsaje's rambling and boring essay. What are you going to do to protect yourself from your family from what? Seriously, what does that mean? And where did the library come into the whole thing?
It's quite possible one could pay bills, save money and keep ice cold beer in the fridge.

Vesta posted that at 11:04 in the morning. So, it was Wake & Bake, or a Bugs & Drugs situation, or bloody marys for breakfast. Except, I've never read anything it posts that makes any sense at all.
