1. There is a statement in the article.

What is wrong with our society that we emulate people like this?

There is a common point made by those of the system, it says the lone bank robber, the thug on the street is the criminal while the system approved crime, or oppression through systems that lead to an inequality worse then any theft, is ok.

The reason people liked Dillinger was not because his crimes, it was because the institutions he was robbing from were perceived as actually worse then he was.

I don't believe in fighting bad with bad. But understanding that many average people do not believe all controlling sectors get a moral pass just because they are part of a system, that thought goes a long way to understanding the fall of corrupt systems.

Things like Dillinger's reputation are an indication of public thought on the systems as much as public thought on a bank robber.

2. Um, ok. You put WAAAYYY more thought into this than I did; I was

just having some fun with alliteration...

3. I had to look up the meaning of alliteration.

http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A+alliteration&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe=&rlz=1I7GZAZ_en

use of the same consonant at the beginning of each stressed syllable in a line of verse; "around the rock the ragged rascal ran"


Shouldn't that word, or at least its defining phrase, be posted in the thread about the unstoppable object and the immovable object?

Or maybe the older thread about the way drops of water independent from view of self, find the same patterns when looked at moving around the rocks of a stream?


(Humor springboarding off the comment of over thinking something :) )

Edit: adding link to thread weird assumptions on old paradigm.
