-M: We have a neocon problem here. I don’t want to leave the USA, I just want them marginalized and reeducated.
>L: I see utterly no reason to deprive any citizen of the right to participate in decision-making, on a basis equal to that of all others. But I certainly would encourage all citizens to usually leave the bulk of decisions to others whom they have trusted.
-M: Then this is RD, like SD2-S.

-M: Nor do I. Lemmings can participate all they want, but the decisive component should be filtered, as with all RD.
>L:…as far as voting is concerned, I don’t need to have a term.
-M: You do use the term ‘lemming’, like me.

When I am communicating with Mark, or in the context set by what Mark has written, I use his language, but I’ve been careful to discriminate between what he means and implies by it. The legitimate meaning of “lemming” is someone who moves in concert with his neighbors or social circle.

-M: ‘Lemming’(Lomax) – someone who moves in concert with his neighbors or social circle
‘Lemming’(Mark) - someone who moves in concert with his neighbors or social circle toward suicidal end results
My usage appears much more useful.
So what if someone who moves in concert with his neighbors or social circle?
Maybe they should.
Maybe his neighbors or social circle are intelligent, rigorous, and objective.
In our context, political, its the end result which is important.shanti
