It would be inaccurate to say the Tea Partiers are racists. What they are, in truth, are narcissists.

It's come around to that point of view at the end of a long evolutionary process, in which the rule of law has slowly been replaced by giant idiosyncratic bureaucracies that are designed to criminalize failure, poverty, and weakness on the one hand, and to immunize strength, wealth, and success on the other.

Most people, when they imagine New England, think about old colonial homes, white houses with black shutters, whales, and sexually morbid WASPs with sensible vehicles and polite political opinions. This is incorrect. If you want to get New England right, just imagine a giant mullet in paint-stained pants and a Red Sox hat being pushed into the back of a cruiser after a bar fight.

Why is JP Morgan getting so much heat? Maybe because it is a massive international crime syndicate.

If the law doesn't apply equally to everybody, then you don't really have a system of law.

Obsessed with success and wealth and despising failure and poverty, our society is systematically dividing the population into winners and losers, using institutions like the courts to speed the process.

Obviously the commercial news media tries to get you worked up and terrified so you'll buy products that they're advertising.
