That's an illusion. The 'extremists' that you see fall pretty much within a narrow band. However, they're loud and furious and generate a lot of smoke and heat, so it looks like there's something going on, while in actuality, the status quo is being maintained. The 'liberal'/'conservative' paradigm is actually a sybiosis: take away one 'side' and the other would cease to exist. -- 'Smoking is Healthier than Fascism'

I was thinking the rear axle was about where the front axle would be on tandems all the way back. >> And being able to slide the tandems forward lets you bend the rig >> around corners that are impossible with the wheels all the way back.

It's an attempt to obfuscate and deceive, just the same. And it doesn't really matter what you call it, because the end is to concentrate power and wealth into the hands of a few, while maintaining the happy illusion among the population that they, too, have power and wealth. -- 'Smoking is Healthier than Fascism' |
