Well, now, in Fairness, which is what this thread is about: *some* of the more politically-successful (naturally-selected??) Dialectical Materialists got rather scarlet-in-the-fangs-and-talons themselves, Mr. McG.; and all in the name (supposedly) of humankind's collective cooperative wellbeing. V.I. Lenin, for one example amongst several. However.

This theory is indeed very encouraging, Amos. Thanks. It's nice to find out that something we *want* to believe, just might be objectively true! / Also encouraging is the knowledge that there are still mammalian bipeds capable of writing: "...make our own justice, virtue, luck, and magic personally instead of running around like minicephalic neanderthals trying to pin such things on the cosmos." Wow. Now that is eloquence evoking Shock & Awe. Seriously, A. (Where's that Book?)

Cheers,
