Shiner-
You know, I do have to appreciate your honesty.
And I honestly, fail to understand what you are talking about... Really.
I can basically interpret your statements several ways: 1) Are you saying that these horrific "things" (hunger, poverty, insurance, etc.) happen to the systematically and systemically downtroddened? Would that not be a stereotype then?
or are you saying:
2) People in a "pluralistic society" and a "republic" should never be selected to be a part of anything. Criteria for selection should purely be driven by merit--e.g. the best man for the job, etc... Anyway else is uncivilized...
