Joe, you've completely missed the point. --
Bill, The question remains; if Douglas never existed, and it had been YOU who'd developed the Social Credit concepts, and explained them without any reference to the "Protocols of Zion", or the philosophy behind the Theory of Rewards and Punishments ----------------------------- This was Douglas' most important observation. -- as a cornerstone of the 'Semitic structure of society', or made any references whatsoever to the Jews themselves, ----------------------------- Identifying that philosophy with the Jews was his biggest mistake. -- what do you think the chances would be that those concepts would be seriously considered? ----------------------------- A hell of a lot better than if they are identified with anti-semitism. Even worse when they are identified with the Masons and Calvinists. In the American perspective it's just ridiculous. If you want to make friends and influence people you just don't do it. There are several hundred thousand Masons in Texas alone, and millions of Calvinists-- the Presbyterians and so on. How many social crediters are there? I don't know any at all. It baffles me that you can defend what is arguably an anti-semitic presentation in the context of the year 2003. I think you must have skipped Public Relations 101. -- And especially if the ultimate 'object' of them was still the triumph of the 'will to freedom' over the 'will to power'? From where do you think the font of the opposition to them, assuming there was any, would originate? Joe ----------------------------- By "the font" do you mean the Jews and Masons and Calvinists or do you mean the philosophy which has nothing specifically to do with the Jews, Masons and Calvinists as individuals, which would rule out the existence of a "font" except metaphorically? Why not simply say the "font" is the "devil" and leave it at that? Do you or do you not believe in free will? If you do believe in free will it must follow that people can be persuaded. That if there is an ingrained philosophy that we oppose--and there most certainly is--it is one more of nurture than nature. For if it were nature the only solution would be the expulsion or extermination of the offenders, or perhaps selective breeding. Then we're right back to the nazis, aren't we? -- ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
