Hi, Natalia, People often assert that they hate and
denounce most in others those things that they hate in themselves. I have found
this phenomenon intriguing for many years, for it provides a short-cut to
understanding how a person views themselves, consciously or subconsciously. People often also accuse others of things
they themselves do. I think the reason for this is that we
know ourselves at a deeper level then we know others, so we reflect and project
our own sense of ourselves on others. Yes, it is very revealing. Thanks for
your post. Cheers, Lawry From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of Darryl and Natalia All mail scanned by NAV Ever desperate for an excuse to bear arms, new groups of US citizens
have been not only congregating to discuss concerns about illegal immigrants
crossing their borders, they are actually taking it upon themselves to patrol
the borders. They say they are worried about drugs, and especially about
terrorists. They have been guarding the Mexican border for a while now, and as
can be expected, have been subject to accusations of racism. Now a group is
prepared to do the same at the Washington border to Canada, and have already
begun to wander the nearby woodlands looking for those possible twenty or so
per annum that might sneak across that way. It's a leisurely past-time,
just them and their gun accomplishing very little, but walking off the pent up
aggression over their loss of American Way of Life, which once included respect
for Americans from Canada, I guess. Personally, I think they'd be far more effective if they were to patrol
the White House or Dubya's ranch for dangerous terrorists, but the
collective hive mind cannot permit the possibility that the patriarchal
hero of 9/11 has created for them the most dangerous time in America. They
fail to grasp that the collective subconscious can only sustain an ego by
projecting onto those who disagree with their warring minds the intent of harm.
As was interestingly demonstrated by Prof. McMurtry of Guelph
University Philosophy Department, the US tends to accuse other nations of evils
that they themselves are currently or are about to unleash upon the accused.
Best recent example is, of course, Iraq's alleged intent to use WMD, and the
resultant release of same by US forces upon the people of Iraq. Yesterday, London England was host to 60 countries for the
biannual Defense Systems & Equipment International exhibition. A little
one-stop shopping to help feed the $trillion plus per annum
industry. Included guests were China, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Columbia,
Iraq, Israel...all of whom have questionable human rights records. (I believe
this is the one Prince Andrew was involved with two years ago.) So here is
Britain, sanctioning these events under the guise of counterterrorism and
defense technologies for both governments and corporations, and
crying horror and amazement over the recent bombings. Then we received the Ft.Worth Star Telegram report about US
2003 international arms sales, which stated that 20 out of the top 25 of the US
best clients were either from undemocratic regimes or from governments with
major human rights abuses. We all know the US leads in world arms sales. Can't
stop manufacturing WMD. Can't find enough nations to accuse of building them
either. If ever there was a nation so full of guilt, waiting to unload it
onto others, it is America. The fear will only escalate if it continues to
find profit in war. Deep down, they all know what these weapons do to
others. At the moment, America's only saving grace may be Katrina's direct
hit to the infrastructure. With it, the illusion of terrorism being the
nation's number one concern is exposed as little more than an excuse for profit
for a few. Natalia Kuzmyn |
