Ladies and Gentlemen,

There's one thing I want to note about sympathy and parasites. We have an entire industry of victim racketeering in Washington (which is a microcosm of the US) that's paid for by your tax dollars. I'd like to share w/ you the following excerpt from a lawyer counseling his client in Tort litigation (civil suit for arrest – mistreatment by police, etc.).

The attorney led the [deponent] w/ the following: "…the difficulty created anger in you. The anger stays w/ you – you've become angry and anxious w/ respect to imposed authority". And then he said, "They patronizingly humiliated you."

Of course this is meant to propose that the person is a victim for being humiliated. I think it's rather dubious since the people who claim to be victimized by humiliation are so often – although not always – the cause of suffering, pain, torture and humiliation for themselves and so many others. (e.g., norms lead to goals; if you act foolish, there will be consequences.) I think so many of us -individually and collectively – want to play the 'Catcher in the Rye' role and save people from themselves. God says, "Don't rescue a fool from the consequences of his/her actions or else you will become responsible for [continuing to do so]", or words to that affect (sic.). This is in the same vein of "A man who hates his son spares the rod of discipline", etc.

I'd also like to make a correction to the previous email: 'God has many names' and also add something. The endnote would be: 1a [the] absence of God. And, if we are to get anything done @ all – i.e., discuss the problems w/ health care/social security, national security, etc., we need to be speaking the same language. When you turn on different t.v. channels, you pretty much expect a certain point-of-view (p.o.v.). It's the same w/ magazines and newspapers; they have perspectives. W/ my emails, you're going to get a certain perspective and I don't feel the need to articulate according to the needs and concerns of commercialized/marginalize
