The peasant who is informed sees the oligarchs as criminal; the oligarchs see the peasants as an inferior subspecies of homo sapiens. <br /> “promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity and welfare; and to secure the national defense,” Unfortunately the progress of science seems largely to harm heath, undermine prosperity and endanger welfare and promote war. So this is just propaganda for the peasants. War is the main devotional activity of the oligarchs. We might just as well be back in ancient Sumeria. The machinery of civilization is operating to please the oligarchy. Radiation must be seen as good for the peasants. Until not so long ago you could poison the peasant without poisoning the aristocrat--but those days are gone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13458690256053943151noreply@blogger.com
