Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2009 23:30:30 -0400 From: "Bosco D" <bos...@canada.com> Social Engineering?? Your posts on a regular basis smack of Social Engineering: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_(political_science) Mario responds: Bosco, Shouldn't one understand an issue as well as one's own references before responding to avoid unnecessary embarrassment? Here is what your own source says about social engineering: Quote: * Social engineering (political science), efforts to influence popular societies on a large scale. * Social engineering (security), the practice of obtaining confidential information by manipulating users. * Social engineering (sociology), efforts to fix a sociological problem in a society Unquote. The social engineering I was referring to was in the Community Investment Act of 1977 was intended to fix what liberal politicians saw as a sociological problem, i.e. the lack of home ownership by low income Americans. As the lone voice on Goanet of reason, truth and peace, my role is more like an informal truth detector, ombudsman and commentator. I have no ability to influence any popular society on a large scale. Wise up. Bosco wrote: Having said that you lack the skills of one K. Mitnick......perhaps for good measure. Mario responds: Perhaps that's just as well as I have no idea who K. Mitnick is.
