<div><FONT face="Times New Roman">Joanna and Carl,<BR><BR>I think many of Bush's circle are still very,<BR>dangerously religious, David Kuo's book and Tucker<BR>Carlson's revelations notwithstanding.<BR><BR>I think Bush, Cheney, et. al., resent their religious<BR>constituents, mock them in private, etc., but for the<BR>same reason any elite holds their base in contempt.<BR>The Pres. of Hungary was scandalously discovered to<BR>have a pretty contemptuous attitude toward his public,<BR>but I don't think that means he doesn't think he is<BR>acting upon some high statesman-like principles<BR>regardless.<BR><BR>In other words, Bush & Co's contempt for their<BR>evangelical base, for the Pat Robertsons of the world,<BR>is a separate issue than whether Bush & crew are<BR>themselves religious. I think a lot of the Bush gang<BR>are religious and are partly driven by religious<BR>goals.<BR><BR>Bush and Co. aren't seclar humanists waiting to bust<BR>out of their Christo-fascist
chains so that they can<BR>be who they really want to be, if only they could<BR>shake those annoying Christers off their backs -- not<BR>any more than Ahmadenijad is waiting for the right cue<BR>to come out of his socialist closet. Bush and cohorts<BR>resent the little people regardless, whether they're<BR>their own important nutball sector of the public base,<BR> or not. They probably also make fun of<BR>environmentalists and union activists.

its sum doubtless the result of the use of human labour-force in order to turn to account the creations of genius and of talent.<SPAN> </SPAN>So it is only natural that when the capable intelligences of a nation, which are always in the minority, are regarded as only the same value as all the rest, then genius, capacity, the value of personality are slowly subjected to the majority, and this process is then falsely named the rule of the people.<SPAN> </SPAN>For this is not the rule of the people, but in reality the rule of stupidity, of mediocrity, of half-heartedness, of cowardice, of weakness, and of inadequacy.<SPAN> </SPAN>Rule of the people means rather that a people should allow itself to be governed and led by its most capable individuals, those who are born to the task, and not that a chance majority which of necessity is alien to these tasks should be permitted to administer all spheres of life.”</FONT></FONT></div> <div><FONT size=3><FONT
