Paging Charles Manson, customer needs assistance on aisle one. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe there are valid reasons why people should not feel good about them- selves? We will never progress if we insist on seeing our faults, vices, sins, as virtues. We can certainly learn from our mistakes; but, we have to admit our mistakes first. > A terrible mind is always an indicator of a society > failing.

I nominate Pat Buchanan. Don't laugh, it's no more stupid than any name you'll come up with. Miko, I know I'm coming on a bit strong; but, has there ever been a dictator who didn't achieve power by making "the people" think he loved them? Caesar loved the mobs of Rome, Stalin loved the workers, and Hitler loved the German Volk. I imagine the world will love itslf to death one day.
