Subject: RE: BS: The crisis of capitalism in the USA
I saw a UFO a couple of days ago!

But to be honest, I need to add a thing or two. First of all "UFO" does not mean a disc-shaped alien space ship from Alpha Centauri Three, it simple means "Unidentified Flying Object."

With prevailing winds, the apartment in which I live is under the landing approach to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The UFO was a conventional commercial airliner, four jet engines, but it was dusk and I couldn't tell whether it was Boeing, Douglas, or Air Bus. Hence, "unidentified."

So I did see a UFO a few evenings ago. That's undeniable.

Especially in politics, people often tend to blurt out a lot of verbiage, but neglect to include the relevant data. Because the whole story negates its propaganda value.

Another point: Goofus and Ake seem to have a great deal of contempt for the voter, the "lumpen proletariat," as to how easily they can be manipulated. Especially strange viewpoint for someone like Ake, who, althought he deigns not to make his position too specific, seems to lean heavily toward Communism or State Socialism, which purports to be for the "common man."

Goofus HAS no political philosophy. He has said so. With him, he hates all politicians.

Convenient way to avoid having to think.
