Yet another religious cult raided

[Jester]

Many a mass has believed in the Lie of the Revolution. It was for their own good, of course, even the hundred million who died under Mao's benevolent leadership.

Hello Utopia, or a variation on a hope of some "better world."

I am with Mal Reynolds: human beings are not perfectable.

Your choice of Strauss is rather predictable. Get over it, Bush be gone in less than half a year. Find a new icon to whinge about, this BDS is getting stale.

Occhi

Wow. If I whine about Bush, it's BDS. If I whine about someone associated with Bush, it's BDS. If I so much as reference someone associated with someone else associated with Bush, in a context that has nothing to do with Bush, it's BDS. This is quite the diagnosis, Dr. Occhi. Maybe you're suffering from BDSDS.

My post was taking a jab at Kandrathe, a supposed and professed Jeffersonian, for voicing the cynical opinion that the great masses of people need to be fed comforting untruths lest they become lost little lambs. Jefferson (and Mal Reynolds) would have found that revolting. That's the extent of my comment.

What this has to do with Mao and the rest, I don't really know.
