  2. I feel the best leaders dont want to be leaders. Snd the people that wantbto lead aren't good leaders. Martin Luther King and Donald John Trump.
  3. Pioneer I have yet to see ego less groups. I can't see a Pioneer following.
  4. Pioneer we run different circles abd hence have a different perspective.
  5. Yes but who leads, or rather whose vision is followed.
  6. Pioneer you have succeeded in convincing the forum that your thought process is unreasonable.
  7. If you put Black Gay and Lesbian rough necks in charge it may work. They have a double dose of discrimination actually the women have a triple dose.
  8. The 25th Amendment was briefly the most searched term. We shall see.
  9. Troy it sounds like you are grumpy.
  10. Troy when did you get so grumpy
  11. You are often moved by words. Booker
  12. It means ouch that looked like it hurt when Cynique opened uo that can of whoop ass.
  13. Right there but you don't see it. The world keeps spinning The US is a nominal republic and practical oligarchy. That doesn't mean all republics are oligarchies. If you had said the US functions like an oligarchy even though it's a republic. You would have made a subtle distinction.
  14. The issue is who is in control. Not who appears to be in control. The US has always been a Plutocracy. In name it is a republic. Currently it us becoming a Kleptocracy like Russia.
  15. Pioneer your beliefs have serve your life. Whether they are correct the norm r idiosyncratic doesn't matter. We see the world differently. Your approach is experiential mine is theoretical. Each has its place.
  16. The issue is the locus of power. With a republic it rest with the Public. The elected officials are representatives and not rulers. I use the Oxford English Dictionary.
  17. You said to me Pioneer isn't an abstract thinker. Experience changes his mind not ideas. Hmm i like to think i challenge Troy but maybe taunting is more effective.
  18. @Troy it is becoming increasingly clear that your ability to coherently discuss an issue it s deteriorating. It seems i need a third person to translate English to you.
  19. People need meaning in their life and they want to be part of something bigger than themselves. Apple isnt selling computers they are selling membership into a club comprised of artistic altruistic thinkers. Apple consumers worship Steve Jobs like a rock star. And just likea a rock concert. They camp out to consume the latest offerings. The product is sold but it is the perception of image and community that is consumed. This applies to following products : Religion; soda; music ; restaurants, universities ; clothing ; sexual identity ; sports ; weight lifting; race et cetera. Identity is a chimera it means what we believe it means. (it is like race a subjective construct) So purchasing products helps to create and sustain identity. When was the last time you drank OE 800?
