Although a massive amount of corruption does occur within and around
that building, it's "brutal" only in a metaphorical sense; the
corruption is usually quite sophisticated. There is certainly drug use,
but by far the most commonly abused drug there is alcohol. As for
illiteracy, I'm sure that 100% of Representatives, Senators, their aides
and staffs are literate.

I really agree that such an article would be better placed in context
where the ambiguities of racism were less openly disclosed. The brutal
honesty of this document leads one to think that there is more
involved in the deliberation of opinion in relation to the races than
simply maintaining one's preconceived views. Still, I believe the
place that persons of such opinions hold in the government is easily
outspoken by those who fear the collapse of the American economy.
Whenever doubt is directed toward a subject of racial inequity,
rational approaches to solving the problems that emerge inevitably
take a back seat to the dominance of certain opinions. Thus, to agree
with some persons and to disagree with others seems to be the best
approach to reducing the doubt of such questions.

Not that I don't see Mr Dukes points... I do, and he made them well,

However this move to bring in slave labor is 100% common to the
inevitable final stage in a national life cycle... the slave labor btw
ends up taking over.... the need for cheap labor is engendered by the
cultures own decay, it gets rich, then fat and lazy, then corrupt.
then starts wars of conquest and hires those it can brow beat into
work in cheap.... its tendency to blame others preclude examination of
the factors that precipitated the decline... those go uncorrected for
many reasons.
Blaming those we import to work cheap might be good sport, but fails
to address the real problem... which is not curable by itself, only
monher nature has the cure... it lets these collapse, starve for a
generation or two unil some backbone re-emerges... then the cycle
begings again.. 250 years thoughout recorded history... the chinese
dynasties went 200 years each, the roman state 300 years, the roman
empire another 300. (the longest so far) most run 250 years or so.
(exceptions, revealingly, have been the cultures without currency, or
a written literature, the Mongols for instance went 1,000 years.)
The cure is *personal... clean up your own act, raise quality kiids if
you can...forward that agenda personally. There is not much mankind
has ever been able to do to keep the tides, currents and winds at
bay... the best one can do for his kind is to learn navigation, gain
strength and learn to sail and teach those to his own... we have a few
examples of this, detested as they often are for their success.
There is no perfection, just survival of the fittest... like it or
not.

I suppose the "brutal crimes of violence" includes all the back-stabbing that

Not only that, but what they have been calling corruption lately
includes getting something for one's own state, which is not
corruption.
They also call corruption getting something for some business or
industry in one's state, which is not corruption unless the
Congressman is paid, in money or in kind, to do it. If someone were
to get a tariff on imported maple syrup that benefitted the people in
the maple syrup industry of Vermont (I think that's the state),
because of the local economic multiplier, that will probably benefit
all the people in Vermont.
Corruption is benefitting personally in return for one's vote.

I don't know who is being quoted, but David Duke is a racist pig, so
bad that both Dems and Reps in Louisiana united and successfully kept

I dunno about that. Sen Ben Nelson "sold" his vote on the health care
reform legislation for some benefits to his state - Nebraska -
ostensibly without receiving any personal payoff.
Was it without a personal payoff, though? Don't you think Sen Nelson
will benefit from this from campaign donations from the beneficiaries
of the concessions granted? I expect that Mutual of Omaha will be
generous to Sen Nelson's campaign chest.

The "bring home the bacon" is _NOTHING_ compared to suck the butts of the
lobby. And it is primarily because of the cloture rule that these people
have such individual power. 60% of the people WANT a Public Option _AND_
a Medicare expansion with the Medicare tax ON ALL INCOME and not just
wages. But that gets canned because of LIEberman. The puny payments to
the others is a "nit".

I thought I heard on the radio today that there is a lot more to this
than they've been saying, that puts it in a lot better light. But
then I took a nap and forgot almost everything I had heard. Hoping to
learn more later.
If there's no more to it, it seems blatently unconstitutional and
certain to be challenged and overturned, so I don't see the point in
doing it. So that's another reason I think there is more to it.
OT3H, there are a whole bunch of laws in Maryland that single out
counties, that name them, and don't even define them indirectly (like
"cities more than 700,000" which would only describe Baltimore). I
asked about this on a legal newsgroup and got an explanation why it
was legal, but it didnt' make sesne to me and now I've forgotten it.

Not so easy, given that you don't quote it, and the original is long
since deleted from my list of messages. However, maybe you mean this:
>> One can see clearly the change coming by observing America�s capitol,
>> where despite the federal flood of our tax money, brutal crimes of

It's not a particularly elegant example of written English (I'd prefer
"coming change" or else a comma after "change coming", plus a comma
after "where") but I've seen much worse. The mere mention of illiteracy
and the mispelling (I presume) of "capital" hardly make it a topic for
alt.usage.english. So, perhaps you could explain why you think it's
relevant?
With some misgivings I'm leaving the groups as you had them, but I
agree with Peter

Then that would have been some very odd groups to post the original
article from. My ISP only allows up to 6-way posts, so I had to remove
some groups in order to add groups. ISTM the article is 99.99%
irrelevant to those removed groups. For a challenge, try to find a
short "N-degrees" chain between the article and one of those groups.
Here's a lame example:
the article -- racism -- rednecks -- roadkill -- rec.food.cooking

Well obviously, as I noted. But why do you think this constitutes an
aue point? What is there to discuss?

In aue people are frequently giving Google counts of misspellings or variant

why it was crossposted to aue, though you may tghink that whether it should

Follow-ups set to aue.
