It is not limited in its application to political governance,
but it is valid in all areas of human endeavor.
I 've ofen added to that the wisdom of shaking the tree,
to make the proverbial fruit fall out, as distinct from
docile, silent quiescence; i.e., the loudmouth is more likely
to get what he wants than a timid less aggressive man.

Let 's not forget that we can use the legal system
to acquire that to which we r entitled,
if we do it accurately.
U have identified yourself as being a socialist.
Since (and including) childhood I have been
an
Individualist. I advocate that
each of
the 3OO, OOO, OOO+ citizens, of all ages, shud
exploit the collective to the maximum.
I
REVERSE Kennedy's foul, collectivist demand
that we
ask not what I can do for u;
ask what u can do for me
to optimize Individual, hedonic aggrandizement.
We shud judge our lives by how well we have
crammed them full of
personal joy and beauty.
(If the collective benefits from that, we can put up with it.)
Please note both my
anti-authoritarianism
and my
anti-collectivism.

Hawkeye, let 's get something straight:
when I was a practicing trial attoney,
I was a hired gun.
The cause to which I devoted my life
was and
IS maximal exploitation of the collective
by the Individual citizen for his optimal hedonic effect.
Sound reasoning is employed to evoke those results.

Yes; the Governor was and is afraid of race riots. Obviously,
he
sacrificed & subordinated Zimmy 's convenience to this harassment,
to satisfy the blacks that were jumping (e.g., Sharpton).
Maybe Obama threatened him; I dunno.
I think that it was more than obvious to the Governor (who is
not stupid)
that there 'd be no chance of a conviction in this factual state of affairs.
