Implicit is my thesis: individuals are known to act for a wide range of personal 'reasons'. And silly as it sounds (from outside someone else's mind!) -- more mischief than the current type, has been instigated or supported with an eye on even lesser sums. (And how does one fold-in the 'power' factor - to one's persoanl Net Worth calc?) Test specimen: Henry Kissinger; we can dredge up countless others. Why bother?

We elect people via bogus information spun even further. We sorta *want* George Washington [in mythical form] and we get ___. These _ciphers_ are on perpetual lookout for Self, and currently so within a culture whose prime obsession is almost identical. (This does not bode well for the maintenance of a society - we already see) Name me an altruist in US Government today, please __?

(Jimmy Carter is in 'public life' not Govt.)


That's my Occam,
