Hello. What did Margaret Meade say about small groups getting things done? Was it the Puritans or Calvinists who believed good people made money and bad people made none. I saw a list on Above Top Secret which gave the top ten corporations for paying under 3% corporate tax or whatever. Do you think the masses have always been so complacent? I don't believe the masses have it em to do anything let alone protest tax cuts for the rich. Hegemony! Is that what keeps the people happy that they are oppressed? Thank you
P.s. Its pretty early yet. I believe Pawlenty has the low bid someone will come along offering at least $2 million tax cut for the richies.

It's both.
Indeed, WASPs in general.
Thomas Pynchon's masterly Gravity's Rainbow explores (amongst many other things) the theological concept of the Elect and the Preterite.
"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."
