Re: Tim May's quote. May is pointing out the truism that the world is full of weak-minded fools.
Almost everybody believes they are above average, believe it or not.
This is the essential problem of the illusory democracy that we live in today. Since in our illusory democracy, the people falsely believe they've excercised their will via "the vote".

The reality is that the sheeple, lulled into veritable unconsciouness with an unending stream of monday-night sports, the Home Shopping Channel (TM) and Beavis and Butthead couldn't care a less as long as they feed on the media/social security/propaganda tit. Their personal opinions, thorougly pre-chewed and digested are spoon-fed to them through a port in the side of their head labeled "fear".
Right. So those people simply don't count, and might as well be eliminated.
May is just one of the people who has awoken from the anesthesia (self-induced or not).
No, Tim obviously lives in a world rich in fantasy. But he is a very clever fellow, and can be quite impressive. -- Kent Crispin "No reason to get excited", kent@songbird.com the thief he kindly spoke...
