You ever get the feeling we are being funneled toward a civil war or at the very least civil unrest?
Everything being done is designed to build frustration and rage in the backbone of this country.
Honestly , no one is this stupid, there has to be some kind of design behind destroying this country from within through its own institutions.
I think that if you talk about that stuff you are apt to lose your account here, judging solely by observations of other posters histories.
I think that if "the left" ever finds it has no more use for "the poor", then their "valuable constituency" will suddenly transform into a mass of "useless eaters". And, gathered as these constituencies tend to be, in run-down urban "center cities", where it takes ongoing, expensive, almost superhuman effort just to keep them going in any semblance of human habitation, then I expect it might get just a tad hairy if "services" were cut off.
The other part of "the poor" being maintained in "center city" locations is that if things do get really out of hand, it'll be fairly easy (as these things go) to cordon them off until either A) they grow up, get some manners, become self-productive, learn to make something of themselves... or, B) the smoke stops rising over the ghettoes.
I think we got a taste of how this could happen during "the New Oleaans thing". People from "certain" districts were essentially cordoned-off, and prevented from exiting those districts -- at gunpoint. I think a lot of "theory" was tested during the aftermath of Katrina. I think there were a lot of "Lessons Learned" sessions. I think there was a definite "exercize" aspect to some of the stuff I saw happening on live TV.
So, will "the poor" ever lose their utility to the left?
Hell if I know. Why not ask a Mexican "undocumented immigrant" what he thinks?
