True of every single average that can be measured. More than half would also be average or higher.

How to lie with statistics.

No its not. But if you like bad outcomes, welcome to what these practices bring.


they bring us back & forth actually, but we hover around the center..

You're just talking about Human Nature..

But look, the real beauty is that "no one" really wins.. it stays pretty much CENTER ---->

Could you imagine a USA where the Capitalists fully held sway? Hell, (and it would be) 7 day weeks, child labor, starvation wages - you get the picture...

But the Labor Movement trumped them...

Now, could you imagine a world where the left Wing Loonies held full sway? Anarchy, guillotines (kidding, maybe not tongue.gif ) Communism - we all wear grey or brown!

So it's better in the CENTER and the DEBATES and the debate process keeps it there.

this has been a simplification admittedly..

The bell curve, eh? I see your point.

You don't get it, do you?

Get what? The DEBATE issue? Oh, I understand it perfectly.


Look - if someone tries something underhanded & gets caught, he loses in the public arena and his influence on the matter at hand is reduced.
So it's risky.

Yes, it's always risky to use disrespect.


People are struggling to sway an issue towards THEIR desired direction - is that wrong?

Only when they resort to underhanded tactics to do so.


That is the political process. It always has been this way.

Is that your opinion or can you provide examples?



Unless you can come up with a better way "to play the game", just watch..

Are you as good looking as you are arrogant? For your sake, I hope so.


And don't get so hung up on the words & statements - they are for "effect" - a lot of this is acting.

Words and statements are all you've got in a DEBATE. Or do you just drop trou and wow 'em that way?


Finally, if you can't stand the DEBATE, stay out of the ... err, kitchen..

How original.

show me the long and impressiive list of people who have tremendous financial and political power who are communists that would want us all to wear grey and brown, show me one person, who has financial and political power who would go to this extreme!

the list of righties who would eliminate unions, OSHA, Social Security as we know it, etc etc etc

all govt regulatory agencies that protect us from corp corruption and greed et cet etc

that list is very long, indeed

but there are right loonies who want to take over and have, the white house for instance

you dont really get my point?

you see, you would have to agree that things like unions, social security, medicare, OSHA, EPA, etc. are good things...

they are, for you and me, not so much for the ultra rich corp fat cats who would rather have no rules to abide by

Mayoria, instead of accepting "the Political Process...mired in mud..." as part of the "game",
we here at the RRMB like to hold people accountable for their actions and what they say.

We do NOT approve of cheating and lying to get the upper hand and
we demand responsibility from politicians who use these tactice and "think it is okay."

We believe in telling the TRUTH and

we believe that ALL POLITICIANS should tell the TRUTH.

When we find that a politician is not telling the TRUTH, then we do our best to get that individual out.

WE WANT an HONEST GOVERNMENT and we work to have an honest government, however, that starts at home.

Do you understand?

I'd like to recomend that you watch the Randi Rhodes "WE BELIEVE" speech.

Dear Lila;

You hardly know me. Why in the world would you (or anyone) ASSUME I do NOT want all the things as you have listed above.

As a matter of fact, I BELIEVE that ultimately, all that WILL come about. Eventually.

I'm heartened by the effect of modern media that keeps a watch on Politicians - and lets the public know when they are lying, cheating, engaging in corruption,, screwing around.

They are thinking twice now. They never thought twice before and it was a much more corrupt, ugly, mud mired world.

But it is improving towards our ideals.

So tell me honestly, you never heard the term "mud slinging politics - and you didn't know dirty politics actually existed? Would you have needed references for proof of it? wink.gif

funny, but I and someone I know in the media think it is exactly the opposite...that 30 yrs ago (post watergate) there was more investigative reporting going on than there is now, and your point (though I see you are trying to be hopeful here so dont wanna completely piss all over it) that they keep an eye on politicians was completely nonexistent in the build up to the war...

for instance, just one example, msnbc fired phil donahue who had excellent ratings because he was anti war and ge didnt want to be seen as anti war...many more examples of how the media let us down, they now admit it...

my belief is it would happen all over again tomorrow

look, this is getting too complicated.. too much to read, refer, backtrack - and for what? to prove what? That I'm an a$$#ole?

Complicated - Politics is complicated - your , OUR ideals are simplifying it down to where it cannot be, right now..

Politics is like Baseball - the game seems very simple, yet ask a real fan and he'll tell ya how deep & complicated it is, in FACT.

Youdon't think there is cheating, scheming, calculating in Baseball?

Who is the FIRST team to stop & take the high road? That team will come last & never be heard from.

That is NOT how to advance your ideals & ideas.
