I've thought of [that] question myself on more than one occasion, my friend.
Interestingly I noticed that ilk seems to permeate certain occupations more than others, also.
Various low-level government positions, much of academia {spit} all pay below average salaries as opposed to [the] more respectable, private sector occupations.
There are of course exceptions but they're rare and so by & large it's true.
Check it out for yourself & see what I mean.
Ever heard of a well paid "activist"?
And how many urinalists, academics (outside the collegiate level) or workers at the SSA, HUD etc are pulling down anything meaningful in the way of money?
The losers seem to have *gravitated* to very specific areas of &/or within our society, possibly because the performance expectation(s) are quite low for those jobs.
~eh?
What's worse is many -- if not all -- of these low level positions are within the governmental bureaucracy we all rely on so heavily, are quite numerous and all have a critical impact on our society -- in a cumulative sort of way -- in one form or another.
Go ahead and unionize the kinds of numbers those positions command -- as they have -- and it isn't long before there's real trouble.
Interestingly enough when the Liberal-Socialist Left was busy *factoring* out what made us "United" and what it'd take to topple the "old" Establishment some years back, all we heard were terms like "Institutionalized" racism, bigotry, elitism etc ad infinitum ad nauseum
Remember?
Welllll now-a-days *they've* assumed -- & staff -- virtually all those positions and insodoing the term "Institutionaized" has come to mean something quite different, even though the term essentially describes the similar condition?
Now -- like so many other things we thought we once knew so well -- the term's taken on the obligatory Liberal-Socialist twist.
"Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated."
Well FWIW, that's it. :o)
The whole putrid situation's now "Institutionalized Ignorance" complete with *real* institutions filled to overflowing with Liberal-Socialist *nuts*.
We can honestly say not only do we know where the inmates are but they're also running the institution(s).
But the insanity only begins with such a revelation y'know, because guess who's paying the nuts wages regardless the amount?
Yup, us.
Damn.
That suggests another question which we must now grapple with, which I really didn't mean to do.
Just who *are* the real *nuts*??
Guess it'd all depend on what the *meaning* of "nuts" is today, huh.
... ;^)
Well yeah. Rather, Jennings, Brokaw, Crankcase, etc; Rockefeller, Soros, "Shakedown" Jackson, Kerry(by marriage), etc; assorted Hollyweirdos, tenured perfessers.... There's a few moneyed activists. They just don't call themselves that, nor does the MSM. They are driven by sensitivity and compassion for their fellow man(puke!). Now their minions on the other hand, want, maybe require, leadership. Hence, their activist attachment to the nanny state?

Yep. The thrust to our society's weak underbelly. "They"(whoever "they" are) know the weaknesses of the human condidion. Worked too....so far.

Heh, being taken for a ride are we? And we're told to just sit back and enjoy the scenery.....on our nickel?
All's I know Dan is I'm getting sick o' their $HIT!
