Hypocrites and "the greater good" from the page:
If you believe that somebody can rationalize sending their fellow-citizens to their deaths so as to get cheaper oil by which they can personally profit, then it should not be a problem believing that they could bankrupt their own country and plunge everybody into a dark age of poverty that the First World has never seen before. I am not saying that this is what is happening or has happened, I am just saying that if you believe they are amoral enough, evil enough to do one, it should not be a problem to believe that they would do the other.

We are talking about cognitive dissonance here, and the ability to deny the obvious contradiction between professed values and actions. When it is proven beyond a shred of doubt, you have to still be able to deny. You deny because admission would not suit you, and you know that if you deny long enough and fervently enough, people will start to consider the possibility that maybe you are telling the truth. Maybe your tortuous, tendentious retelling of the facts is the truth.

The thing about evil is that it never comes right out and admits to being what it is, it just goes along acting in it's own best interest until everybody decides to stop it. If they are evil, merely telling them that is not going to change anything. Merely accusing them is pointless. People who rationalize have already worked out their actions with their conscience of whatever passes for one with them. In their minds they have twisted the nature of their actions to where they "had no choice" and "were for the greater good". They love the greater good. The long-term good. You can do anything for the long term good. The term being as long as you like. You can make anything a "reasonable course of action given", and fill in the space after "given" with any historical precedent that suits your immediate goals.

From the Page:..............can fill it up in a few minutes for around two dollars. Celades says optional gasoline or biofuel hybrid models will heat the pressurized air, increasing the volume available for the pistons and allowing the car to drive for nearly 500 miles between air refills and about 160 miles per gallon of fuelburned. /www.stumbleupon.com/to/2yHGz6/www.plentymag.com/features/2008/01/driving_on_air.php/t:4af94edbe8572;src:syndicate" rel="nofollow" target="_new">http://www.plentymag.com/features/2008/01/driving_on_air.php

From the Page:..........................................."At the end of the war of 1914, it became clear that the organization of this system had to be greatly extended... the tasks was entrusted to Lionel Curtis who established, in England and each dominion, a front organization to the existing local Round Table Group. This front organization called the Royal Institute of International Affairs, had as its nucleus in each area the existing submerged Round Table Group. In New York it was known as the Council on Foreign Relations, and was a front for J. P. Morgan and Company.... In fact, the original plans for the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Council on Foreign Relations were drawn up at Paris."

GANDHI & RACISM To understand Gandhi's role towards the blacks, one requires a knowledge of Hinduism. Within the constraints, a few words on Hinduism will suffice: The caste is the bedrock of Hinduism. The Hindu term for caste is varna; which means arranging the society on a four-level hierarchy based on the skin color: The darker-skinned relegated to the lowest level, the lighter-skinned to the top three levels of the apartheid scale called the Caste System. The race factor underlies the intricate workings of Hinduism, not to mention the countless evil practices embedded within. Have no doubt, Gandhi loved the Caste system. http://www.trinicenter.com/WorldNews/ghandi4.htm
