Beaglesonia: Freehold or Fortress of the Establishment?

I think I do remember the nebishes, didn't they have long rubbery bodies?  Did each family member have their own glass?  Was this something you could fight with your sister over?

Well of course the poor are not organized like the rich and the powerful and your mysterious establishment (your heavenly host one, not my drunken Greeks one),  they can't travel to conferences in fancy Caribbean islands.

During World War II (Why are the world wars always I or II, and never 1 or 2?  One day when I was subbing a regular teacher asked a student to name three wars.  He cogitated a bit and came out with World War One.  Good enough.  Encouraged, he thought he'd push it a bit and ventured World War Two.  Again Fine.  Well hells bells this was going to be easy, World War Three he asserted confidently.  From now on it's world wars 1 and 2 for me.), black soldiers were only allowed in segregated regiments, and if they had to travel through the south to get to the various forts it would be in the back of the bus and forget about a dinner in a nice restaurant. The federal government who you claim wanted us all to be in this together didn't say boo.

I guess when you speak about wedge issues you mean the civil rights movement, which I think would hard to ascribe to your holy host establishment, easier to ascribe to my warring Greeks establishment, but maybe it could be ascribed to black people who were tired of riding in the back of the bus, and idealistic white people who were raised learning in their churches and schools that all men were created equal, and that they should be treated that way.  Is that so hard to believe?  Is it easier to  believe in this murky establishment that holds all power over everything and can never be understood.  Have you ever heard of Occam's razor?

I don't know where the civil rights movement went beyond equality.  I assume you are speaking of quotas, but if 10 percent of the people in the town are black shouldn't ten percent of the employees be black?  Enforcing that might involve some injustices among some white people who wouldn't get hired, but don't those injustices fade in the face of the mill never hiring any black people?

Well here I am arguing quotas, and this is a long and involved argument.  I am just meaning to say, that the civil rights movement never went beyond asking for equality.  But how would you know that since you claim that the HH (Holy Host) establishment can encourage perceptions.

I thought I was the determinist on this bus, and that you were the free-willer, but now you seem to be claiming that the establishment is behind everything that happens (or maybe just things that you don't like) and has the power to cloud men's minds and is an irresistible force.  Does it not follow then that you and your tea party ilk are the minions of the HH, and that even the freehold of Beaglesonia is a piece of the HH puzzle.
