That is what frightens our politicians. Ordinary people doing ordinary things in ordinary places, that is the trick for us to pull off. I'm not a street demonstrator, and few of us are. Yes, I will stand on the corner shouting if it comes to it, but I'm more likely to sit in a livbrary chatting with fellows from the community of scholars and the local diner. It's when our attitudes and opinions are the talk of the office that we'll start to make progress. Our ideas have to be ordinary and we, ordinary people, have to speak them so others will know we are normal and reasonable and that they too agree with ordinary and reasonable. <BR/><BR/>No more monkey nonsense from experts. People are able to sense the stupidities even if they aren't articulate enough to debate college professors in public. We need people with common sense and basic Human decency to lead our nations. Enough of the gnostic phantasies of the Left dhimmi dystopians. I want to sit at the diner and hear ordinary people speak the truth out loud about the realities of life. What does monkey rights have to do with Joe Taxi-driver? It's an insult to all of us. No more acquiescence. Speak up when we hear nonsense. Let people know that stupid is stupid even when experts say it. These fools are not special. Ordinary people are special. We are Humanity. We count. We are the purpose of life!Daghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664271893389366772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13144649.post-1146160883622895792006-04-27T11:01:00.000-07:002006-04-27T11:01:00.000-07:00I see your point.

"Experts" get much credit, credit being that which they do not have in hand, like a credit card, that not being money but something one will pay at a later time on trust. We are now more and more able to challenge the intellectual expert class and demand an accounting of their abilities to pay and provide valid currencies. Simply being an expert andintellectual is no longer a right to credit. The endless deferral of payment and the demands of further credit is now incresingly seen as bogus, as a cheat, as a danger. It's time for our intellectuals to use some cash in the marketplace of idea. Bloggers are cutting off the credit usually available to the exprets. <BR/><BR/>We would some few years ago have moaned alone in the knowledge that our public intellectuals were promoting Ape Rights. We might have sat at the library and talked to our fellows aobut it, thinking they'd gone even stupider than usual, and we'd have sat waiting for the next election in the hope of exposeing them as phonies and fools. Now, with blogs, we can jump on them immediately and demand some accountablity on the spot. The dialogue of geniuses in backrooms is not the nature of politics any longer. Now they can bloody well pay for their stupidities on the spot.<BR/><BR/>Blogging isn't enough. We have ot stand up in public and use blogs as the way to organise that stand. The people have a way now of uniting on the spot and voicing an opinion and of demanding correction and payment. No more credit to the intellectually and morally bankrupt. It's time to make the bastards pay.Daghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664271893389366772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13144649.post-1146156357620900162006-04-27T09:45:00.000-07:002006-04-27T09:45:00.000-07:00Pandering for the give-apes-citizenship vote?Forgi...Pandering for the give-apes-citizenship vote?<BR/><BR/>Forgive, I can't understand the idea.

If he goes a little deeper, he might invoke the model (for thinkers like Jack Rousseau) of primitive tribes where a relative equality and ritually-dictated rights dominated the scene; but he will not be able satisfactorily to explain why primitive tribes are like that, i.e. what it was about the moment of human creation that led to such societies that are quite unlike the pecking order hierarchies of our ritual-less ape cousins. <BR/><BR/>Ultimately, that which makes us human, i.e. beings with a core moral intuition about human equality - e.g. in most circumstances, killing a fellow human is a sin, even when starving, while killing an animal is not - and the imperative of reciprocity, and beings with the capability of asserting that our rights come from a creator or from the creation, is not something the left can explain. Being at war with religion, they have never taken seriously the need to dwell on what makes us specifically human; rather, they want to assimilate the human to the natural in a victory for a materialist worldview. And the further they push the idea, the less sense they can make of the human world in which they live.<BR/><BR/>Denying animals human rights isn't arrogant and cruel; it is ascribing human qualities to our animal cousins that is.truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13144649.post-1146091408166126742006-04-26T15:43:00.000-07:002006-04-26T15:43:00.000-07:00Dag,What more can one do than vote, keep informed,...Dag,<BR/>What more can one do than vote, keep informed, blog, write letters to congressmen, and donate money to PAC's?<BR/><BR/>Still we are not represented.<BR/><BR/>I refuse to take responsibility for something over which I have no control.
