I'll post it as suggested reading, probably tomorrow morning. Just thought of something on authoritarian personality and behavior I read a while ago.

I understand your sentiment completely. I prefer to use the word authoritarian for these behaviors, because those you use are, in my opinion, too specific and too easy for people to dismiss as "extreme rhetoric." And I avoid those comparisons partly because of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_Law Authoritarianism is one of the things I try to read up on, and I post links to stuff about it here form time to time. So read on! Glad you made it Tru. :) If you know anyone else who might like what we’re dong here, be sure to share!

Mississippi is bordering on having an active version of the Gestapo anyway. No shock that it's hard for "lay persons" to get information on what's really going on. Any Nazi-type governmental system depends on controlling information that is available to the public. Just look at our system in Jackson, with the sheriff/police chief and the hated-by-all mayor somehow still in power. Try to get some information on this and see how skewed it is. Blatant manure! Did I hear someone say, "Let them eat cake"? This is not surprising. Mississippi is bordering on having an active version of the Gestapo anyway.
