Post #267,341 by jake123 9/12/06 2:19:08 PM Reply	Actually, there's an easy answer: the true one and that is that most elites want to exploit a feeling of false superiority in their peoples, so they they sell this by claiming that their losses are more important than the Other's losses, and she is just seeing our particular version of this. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
Post #267,348 by bionerd 9/12/06 2:43:54 PM Reply	That's human nature It's not elitist. Of course I'm gonna think my problems and losses are greater than yours. Why? Because they're mine.
Post #267,355 by jake123 9/12/06 3:52:57 PM Reply	That may be but our leaders are encouraging that perspective, and trying very hard to get people to further magnify our losses whilst simultaneously minimising theirs. I'm certainly not saying their leaders are not doing the exact same thing. However, I think that (for example) the Palestinian people and their leadership could learn a lot about how to effectively throw their occupiers out by learning a bit about Gandhi. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
