    Capn…does your hypocrisy ever bother you? It seems you have no qualms about carping at the Republican vote/caucuses/candidates. Yet, when people who are not Dems post something about the Democratic primaries, your post is:
    “When we want the opinions of reich-wingers about what we should do in our party, we’ll ask for them.

    The only thing we’re asking is for people like you to shut up about what we do in our party.”

    So, it is do as you say, but not as you do? Your hypocrisy is pathetic. You are so driven by hate that you fail to see the idiocy of your own contradictions.

    Religion of Peace update

    From Agence France-Presse (hat tip: Elder of Ziyon):

    A young Iranian man has been sentenced to hang for repeatedly drinking alcohol which is strictly banned in the Islamic republic, the Etemad newspaper reported on Wednesday.

    The 22-year-old, identified only as Mohsen, was handed down the death penalty by a criminal court after being found guilty of drinking alcohol for a fourth time, the daily said.

    “The defendant in this case has been sentenced to death and the official notification will be given soon,” it quoted Judge Jalil Jalili as saying.

    So apparently Shariah law provides for a three-drink limit.

    U.N. to let Iraq sell oil for Euros, not dollars

    October 30, 2000
    Web posted at: 8:45 PM EST (0145 GMT)

    UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) — A U.N. panel on Monday approved Iraq’s plan to receive oil-export payments in Europe’s single currency after Baghdad decided to move the start date back a week.

    Members of the Security Council’s Iraqi sanctions committee said the panel’s chairman, Dutch Ambassador Peter van Walsum, would inform U.N. officials on Tuesday of the decision to allow Iraq to receive payments in euros, rather than dollars.

    So, Capn..by your kind words, I can assume you will not post anything about Republican primaries again? Or, does your directive only apply one way?

    And, you moron, how many times do you have to be told that I am not any of the others you falsely accuse me of being? I don’t know what pleasure you get from such lies, but it is getting lame. You have aboslutely nothing to base your claims on other than the horrifying fact that there might be more than one person on the planet that doesn’t accept your twisted hatred as fact.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed onto them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”- Ronald Reagan

    Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it political? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular — but one must take it simply because it is right. — Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Posted February 12, 2008 at 10:30 am | Permalink

    Amway, you were asking for information on Superdelegates yesterday. Here’s what I found.

    Delegate and Superdelegate totals:

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_delegate_count.html

    Looks like there are 2003 Total Delegates and 796 Total Superdelegates. That would be 2799 Total Delegates.

    The Superdelegates then account for 28% of the Total Delegate count.

    The 796 elitist individuals who are Superdelegates could OVERRIDE the popular vote even if Obama was ahead by 27%!!!!

    Say Obama gets 63% of the popular vote and Clinton gets 37% of the popular vote, if all Superdelegates were bought, blackmailed, or otherwise forced to vote for Clinton, then Clinton gets the nomination!

    And here’s a list of the Democrat Superdelegates who have endorsed a candidate:

    And who haven’t endorsed a candidate:

    http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegates-who-havent-endorsed.html

    Looks like a very elite list of individuals to me. They can overturn a popular vote majority for Obama, even if Obama has a big lead.

    Now need to see if anyone has researched the background of these 796 elitists.

    How many of them were cons that were pardoned by Bill Clinton?

    How many of them had their FBI file reviewed in the Oval Office by Billary?

    I might have missed it, but I didn’t see Norman Hsu on the list.

    Posted February 12, 2008 at 10:47 am | Permalink

    Clinton does have a big advantage with the Superdelegates:

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/01/29/ST2008012904299.html

    Of the nearly 300 superdelegates who have committed to a candidate, out of a total of 796, Clinton leads Obama roughly by a 2-to-1 ratio, according to numerous counts. The lead is so substantial, her campaign asserts, that even if Obama pulls ahead in pledged delegates after Feb. 5, Clinton will probably retain a modest edge in the overall delegate tally.

    Very good article on the Superdelegate process:

    http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080218/berman

    No matter what happens with the superdelegates this year, it’s unsettling to have a large bloc of party officials who are not answerable to the party’s electorate. “I certainly think their influence should be curtailed,” Hart says.

    Bar Stool Economics

    Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

    The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
    The fifth would pay $1.
    The sixth would pay $3.
    The seventh would pay $7.
    The eighth would pay $12.
    The ninth would pay $18.
    The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

    So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until on e day, the owner threw them a curve. ‘Since you are all such good customers, he said, ‘I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

    The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men – the paying cu stomers?How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his ‘fair share?’ They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

    And so:

    The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
    The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
    The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
    The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
    The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
    The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

    Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

    ‘I only got a dollar out of the $20,’declared the sixth man. He pointed to the te nth man,’ but he got $10!’

    ‘Yeah, that’s right,’ exclaimed the fifth man. ‘I only saved a dollar, too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more than I!’

    ‘That’s true!!’ shouted the seventh man. ‘Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!’

    ‘Wait a minute,’ yelled the first four men in unison. ‘We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!’

    The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

    The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

    And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

    The WE Blog really needs to get with the program and use a registration system to prevent the multiple nic morons from clogging up the arteries.

    They need a one person, one nic system and to reject all posts from proxy servers.

    Of course, if they did that, half of the Right Wing posters would disappear.

You are not a victim J R, if you would hold yourself responsible for your life you could achieve great things. It is a simple philosophy, but hard for most people to grasp. No one is out to get you.

    Clinton Resists Calls to Release Tax Returns,
    Hits Obama on Ties to Contributors
    by Associated Press
    Tuesday, February 12, 2008

    WASHINGTON — Resisting calls from Barack Obama to release her income tax returns, Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday she would only do so if she secures the Democratic presidential nomination and contended her rival had been less than candid about his relationship with major campaign contributors.

    Monday, February 11, 2008

    WASHINGTON — U.S. fighter planes intercepted two Russian bombers flying unusually close to an American aircraft carrier in the western Pacific during the weekend, The Associated Press has learned.

    A U.S. military official says that one Russian Tupolev 95 buzzed the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz twice, at a low altitude of about 2,000 feet, while another bomber circled about 50 nautical miles out. The official was speaking on condition of anonymity because the reports on the flights were classified as secret.

    Clinton Fighting to Hold On to Supporters as Obama Builds Momentum
    by FOXNews.com
    Tuesday, February 12, 2008

    As Hillary Clinton braces for a predicted presidential primary sweep by Barack Obama along the banks of the Potomac Tuesday night, her campaign reportedly is scrambling to comfort anxious donors and superdelegates who fear her campaign may be slipping out of her hands.

    The Clinton campaign held a phone conference Monday aimed at rallying the troops, but some of those on the call said afterward that there is unease among Clinton’s supporters over what could become a big losing streak once Tuesday’s results in Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C. are final, the New York Times reported.

    If Obama sweeps the Potomac Primary, he will have won eight consecutive contests since Super Tuesday.

    “She has to win both Ohio and Texas comfortably, or she’s out,” an anonymous superdelegate who currently supports Clinton told the Times.

    That’s the only way it CAN be done Chas if you cannot defend your own position, then your only recourse is to counter-attack, divert attention from the original attack, and hope that you don’t have to explain your own position.

    In this case, what is Clinton hiding in her tax records?

    For someone campaigning as someone who will be a “Transparent President”, she sure has a lot of brick walls hiding things about herself.

    When is she going to release all those White House documents? She’s using her 8 years as First Lady as “Experience” on her resume. Yet when you try to ask questions about the details of that experience – nuthing. She releases nuthin.

    This woman must have a lot to hide.

    someone really needs to do something about this abstinence pure and simple class that is being imposed upon our youth. It isn’t merely being taught abstinence, but rather, a religious class in our public schools chalk full of misinformation.

    My daughter went through this class a few years ago, and luckily I have taught my daughter all the facts. When she came home and told me the things they were doing, I asked to be able to tape record the sessions. I was told no. So I asked to go sit in on the sessions, which I did. The woman teaching it told me flat out she knew kids would have sex anyway. I asked her if she believed that it would be better to arm them with knowledge first, and she said NO.

    Apparently this woman is back with a friend of mine’s daughter in class again. They asked all the Catholic girls to raise their hands! Chastised about the ‘provocative dress’ as if their whole sexuality had something to do with it.

    Look at this page of the website, it says girls can suffer emotional harm from using a condom! The misinformation is unreal. She’s advocating these girls go to a catholic program outside of the school, and recommending against the HPV vaccine. “Am I truly unable to acquire an STD, get pregnant, or suffer emotional stress by using a condom, or other forms of birth control? ”

    she also claims her family member is suffering from post abortion syndrome. Well gee, maybe it’s because of the stigma and hurt they’re causing her??? Apparently the abstinence only program didn’t work for her!

While I did not explore any further into the website, the link you provided is DEAD ON!

    Paul Joseph Watson
    Prison Planet
    Monday, February 11th, 2008

    Amidst a certain amount of resentment amongst some Ron Paul supporters that the Texan has decided to scale back his presidential campaign in order to secure his Congressional seat, the real progress that has been made over the last 12 months has been highlighted by an unlikely source.

    Newsmax, which is largely a Neo-Con news outfit, admits in its new print magazine issue that Ron Paul may have “changed the GOP forever,” conceding that he is “sparking an incredible movement of libertarian conservatives in the Republican Party.”

    Newsmax writes that Paul’s message of small government, limited taxation, and reduced intervention abroad “resonates with millions of Americans” and compares the Congressman’s impact to that of conservative icon Barry Goldwater, who fundamentally shifted the course of the GOP 50 years ago.

    The Ron Paul Revolution is still in its infancy and Ron Paul will only be the figurehead of the movement for a limited period of time. When the time comes, new personalities will emerge but the fundamental drive and purpose of the movement will remain the same.

    As we have underscored, America was not demolished overnight and it won’t be restored overnight. This is part of a long process that transcends the issue of Ron Paul’s presidential campaign. People who are so naive as to lose hope and abandon the cause at such an early stage need to realize that the struggle to revive liberty is a long and arduous battle which really has no end.

    We really need to continually remind ourselves to take stock of what we as a movement have achieved in just the last 12 months alone.

    Talk of abolishing the private Federal Reserve, eliminating fractional reserve banking and returning America to a truly conservative humble foreign policy is so prevalent that it’s a topic of discussion on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. Such a thing was unheard of five or ten years ago.

    Ron Paul’s presidential campaign platform has educated millions of Americans about real issues and we can now safely count on the fact that around 10 per cent of the U.S. population are fully awake and aware – that’s at least double the amount of support the founding fathers could rely on during the Revolutionary War.

    Such a widespread and highly motivated grass roots movement is the antidote to the poison of big government and tyranny that has been injected into the heart of America since 9/11.

    Beyond Ron Paul and beyond the 2008 presidential election this unprecedented freedom movement will remain a major force in politics – but only if Ron Paul supporters can have foresight and understand that the war is not over – it has only just begun.

    LJ did you read what I wrote? Sure those are all good questions to ask before having sex, but is it REALLY emotionally harmful to use birth control? They discourage that even if someone decides TO have sex. Tell me, when you had sex for the first time, were you sitting there thinking about those things? Talk about out of touch. Parents have talked for generations till they’re blue in the face the consequences of having unprepared sex. And yet, we still have kids choosing sex, still have teens pregnant. The LAST thing I want to do is tell them that birth control is harmful to them! Oh another thing that was said is that you can get HPV from touching. Yep, scare tactics is all they have.

    They forgo this information in the hopes that ONE of these kids will wait till marriage. I will be happy if they make it till out of high school, but they STILL need CORRECT information on how to prepare themselves. Even after marriage. Don’t associate with kids who have sex. Unbelieveable.

    I’m proud that my child is still abstinent at nearly 18. But I also know when it is time, she’ll have the CORRECT information and not a bunch of hooey.

    It is ironic that those most opposed to abortion are also those most opposed to comprehensive sex education and programs such as SCHIP.

    They don’t want to teach young people about responsible sexual behavior.

    Political Mama–

    A few of your remarks, and my replies

    “it REALLY emotionally harmful to use birth control? They discourage that even if someone decides TO have sex”

    I didn’t see that. I guess I will look again. Somehow, I think that is not quite what they are saying. ANyway, I will look again

    “Tell me, when you had sex for the first time, were you sitting there thinking about those things?”

    Of course not. Well, I guess to some degree. Because we did use protection. and that was a long time ago. But anyway, the decision must be made PRIOR to getting in those situations, which is what I believe the point was.

    “Parents have talked for generations till they’re blue in the face the consequences of having unprepared sex.”

    No, I disagree. THey haven;t talked about the consequences. Truly. They have talked about how “bad” it is. There is a difference.

    “The LAST thing I want to do is tell them that birth control is harmful to them! Oh another thing that was said is that you can get HPV from touching”

    Hmmm. I guess I will look again. I didn;t see that.

    “but they STILL need CORRECT information on how to prepare themselves. Even after marriage”

    I whole heartedly agree. And that correct information includes not only “protections” but a very clear, precise, picture of the consequences, how to make that decision, and how to defend your decision if you decide to wait.

    Choice before first trimester, responsibility thereafter

    “They don’t want to teach young people about responsible sexual behavior.”

    The key word is respnsibile. And yes, many conservatives take this direction.

    And they don’t want to provide health care for children after they are born.

    If you can;t afford to take care of your children, then don;t have them. That would be responsibile, would it not?

    I am opposed to Schip. I have offered alternatives such as state funding their own progran, such as the limousine liberals starting their own “free or affordable” health care plan, and others. The only thing offered is SCHIP. WHy? TO pass the buck in funding. Same as everyother freaking government program. I want this, I want someone else to pay.

    honest disagreement I have found to be workable. THe general politics of McCaina Hillary I consider to be two peas in a pod. They may have different viewpoints, but their integrity is less sure, at least what I have seen. MCCainHillary are just opposite sides of the same coin.

Fear mongering that if you vote for the other guy, he’ll raise taxes or she’ll take away your social security or he’ll stop abortions and he’ll protect you from whatever it is they create to scare you in the first place. Your people give us problem-reaction-solution and that has created the people we will get. The folks your paint-by-number candidates have turned off for 40-50 years. Be afraid. Be very afraid. We have yet to need big media to get our message to these “20%” we already have. We thought there would be hope that maybe big media would give him a chance, but that (we now know) will never happen.

    Last September, a 22-year-old mother scheduled a late-term abortion at Tiller’s Wichita abortion mill, after referral by a Reno, NV quack who misdiagnosed her baby as suffering from dwarfism, water on the brain, and several other birth defects. Pro-lifers were able to steer the mother next door instead to the pro-life Choices Medical Clinic, where 4D ultrasound and other services showed that the baby possibly might suffer from dwarfism, but none of the other problems, and that the gestation age was 24 weeks, making a post-viable abortion, misquoted at $7000 for a previable abortion by Tiller, definitely illegal by Kansas law, which does not allow birth defects as justification for post-viable abortions. (The Reno quack had not allowed the mother to see an ultrasound image.)
    Weeks later, the happy mother gave birth to a healthy boy, with no signs of dwarfism.

    Well, well, well, it seems my main man Obama agrees with me with regards to super-delegates. Guess the leading democrat agrees with this ole conservative:

    “Obama this week warned Super-delegates to vote the way their states have voted, “if this contest comes down to super-delegates, we are going to be able to say we have more pledged delegates, which means the Democratic voters have spoken. Those super-delegates, those party insiders would have to think long and hard how they would approach the nomination.” Obama suggested “the argument we would be making to super-delegates is, if we come into the convention with more pledged delegates then I think we can make a very strong argument that our constituencies have spoken and I think that’s going to be pretty important when it comes to the general election.” ABC news

    If you would like to see the already pledged democrat super-delegates here is a link to their names and which candidate they are pledged for:

    “I have often stated my opinion on this blog about abortion”

    Sorry, LJ, but I don’t keep track of everyone’s opinion on every subject.

    The phraseology “before the first trimester” is occasionally used by anti-choice folks to highlight their opposition to abortion after conception.

    How the Hell was I to know that you meant “before the end of the first trimester?”

    Thank you for clarifying your position. I was NOT trying to mock you, I merely read what you posted and thought you meant it literally.

    “The superdelegates are seated based solely on their status as current or former elected officeholders and party officials. They are free to support any candidate for the nomination, although many of them have publicly announced endorsements.”

    As clearly shown here, the super delegates are either current, or former elected office holders, and party officials.

    The superdelegates are ELECTED by their state Democratic Party organizations – they are not just names yanked out of a hat by the “party elite.”

    I am a hardcore Obama supporter and would be very disappointed should he lose the nomination due to the votes of the supers, but those are party rules and Barack knew the rules going in.

    Contrary to the opinions of some, the Democratic Party, as is the Republic Party, is a private organization and they can make their own freakin’ rules.

    The super concept has been in place for over twenty-five years. It may backfire on Obama this year, but he knew that from the beginning.

All citizens will be allowed to keep the fruits of their own labor, the rights to their own property, and the ability to ensure the preservation, protection, and prosperity of their own family.”

    Good lord Sol sell that to some poor slob who works at McDonalds. You and Ron Paul are trying to live in a reality that doesn’t exist anymore.

    “I apologize. can you please cite where the constitution is no longer relevant?”

    Sol there are PARTS of the Constitution that are great. But then there were also little things like the 3/5ths compromise and other not so little things that make the Constitution not terribly applicable to nation 200 + years after it was written.

    Solis Doyle had brought Henry on board, so his departure is not a complete shock.

    Ok, I guessed the 16th Amendment earlier. It appears that the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and the 16th Amendment also of 1913, were not just coincidently passed in the same year.

    http://www.petitiononline.com/fedres/petition.html

    Now to put the frosting on this cake. When was the income tax created? If you guessed 1913, the same year that the FED was created, you get a gold star. Coincidence? What are the odds? If you are going to use the FED to create debt, who is going to repay that debt? The income tax was created to complete the illusion that real money had been lent and therefore real money had to be repaid. And you thought Houdini was good.

    Hey Sol — When the Second United States Bank was disbanded in 1836, and many thought all was happy and bright, it was just 41 years later, that the country almost bought the bullet… It was called the Panic of 1877…

    Conspiracy theories?? I’m not wrong on that either Sol… You cant stand it that somebody else on here knew the answer to your skewed question… and just refused to post it!!

    There were, and still ARE many conspiracy theories about the creation of the Federal Reserve… I am not going to post all of them… Just will mention a few….

    ONE of those theories is that it was the “Jew” Bankers and the @#$$%^ politicians that started the FED, and that there was a direct tie in to the leaders of the Communist Revolution being planned in Russia at that time.. including the assasination of the Tsar’s Family, and the Revolution…

    The theory here was that those who formed the FED were in cahoots with the Revolutionaries in Russia… And that they were connected to “Jew” bankers in Europe!!

    And then, more recently, there are the various conspiracy theories around the manipulation of world finance by groups like the Bildeberger Group, and the Illuminati…

    You can do a search for either one of those groups at either infowars.com, or prisonplanet.com… Many conspiracy theories about the FED on those web sites…

    Now, lets deal with that “crime” that may or may not be a hate crime…

    We have one citizen dumping another citizen out of a wheelchair… Zero in on the story a tad bit more… It is a POLICE officer dumping a citizen out of a wheel chair…

    The citizen in the wheel chair is handicapped, or crippled in some way requiring the use of the wheel chair…

    NOW — The citizen charged with the DUTY of protecting and serving the Citizens… is a COP… The other citizen is a handicapped person…

    THUS — the RACE of the two citizens is totally irrelevant…

    But the HATE crime issue MIGHT be addressed, IF the citizen dumped out of the wheel chair claims that the COP had a “hate-filled” attitude toward handicapped persons…

    Otherwise, it is simply Police Brutality, and should be dealt with accordingly…

    Of course, we dont have the informaation available as to why the COP was after the handicapped person in the wheel chair… That person MIGHT have been wanted for committing a felony… or even a murder… Such things as a felony or murder, are not impossible for one confined in a wheel chair… nuff said!!

    Are we putting our kids in tanks because we didn’t put them in efficient cars? Yes: we wouldn’t have needed any oil from the Persian Gulf after 1985 if we’d simply kept on saving oil at the rate we did from 1977 through 1985.” (continues)

    I suspect “SolDevVB” is simply going through a manic phase this evening.

    Like when he responded to “Max’s comment…

    “…it’s gonna look like Hillary stole the nomination.”

    “SolDevVB” blathered –
    “And you think she gives a shit? all she wants is the power.

    Sheesh.

    All any politician wants is power, “SolDevVB.” That’s in the job description. Even the idol of Paul-bearers such as you is in it for the power. Just like every tire salesman on the planet is in their game to sell tires.

    Now, maybe, some politicians veil their craving for power with nice sounding platitudes: to restore the Constitution or change how Washington works or get America back on track… But the only-est way any politician gets into a position to do anything is…“…to get the power.”

    But then you ranted, “Wow, I guess a private organization controlling the dollar is a conspiracy.” No. Actually it’s part of the so-called “conservative” concept of “privatizing” government. It’s a basic philosophy that led to Halliburton’s war against the people of Iraq and the military-industrial complex President Eisenhower warned us against. We all remember what a pinko-commie-socialist-liberal-democrat Ike was, don’t we?

    You Libertarians are nostalgic about an America that never existed except in your fantasies.

    But keep enjoying tonight’s manic high, “SolDevVB.” And make sure you can’t get to any weapons when the inevitable depression kicks in.

    Yeah, “Chas.” –

    Well…

    I think we all have myths we believe in. You and I generally believe in the myth that most people really, really want to do the right thing. We believe in the myth that it might not be a myth. And who knows? Maybe the myth isn’t a myth.

    But there are people whose myths are darker. There’s the myth that “they hate us for our freedom.” There’s the myth that having a loaded gun always within reach will somehow make them safer. There’s the myth that George WMD Bush knows what he’s doing. There’s the myth that what George WMD Bush is doing is somehow benefificial for America. Or American. Or right. Or, even, “conservative.”

    There’s the myth that what’s “conservative” is somehow beneficial for everyone.

    As much as we — on both sides — profess we’re talking about legitimate issues, most politics — on both sides — is about perpetuating convenient myths.

    And that’s okay, really. We learn from myths. No one in his or her right mind would believe a literal interpretation of Aesop’s fables. But hard steady work over time might somehow out-perform a quick victory, as with the tortoise and the hare. Total, utter defeat of a concept that promotes love over hate might, after crucifixion and ressurection, portend ultimate victory over the sins of being human.

    But reality has this annoying tendency of imposing itself into our myth-worship.
