Dum-dee-dum-dum...
There are months where Dante is not at USMB. Dante's average is spread out over the years.
I hope you don't gamble.
clue...look at post dates and thread starters.
and this below, is what the thread we are in, is all about...
Shame & Hysteria: Americans Lynch Colorado Dark Knight Shooterhttp://www.usmessageboard.com/curre...icans-lynch-colorado-dark-knight-shooter.html
Look how emotions and hysteria took over the American group psyche early this morning. America was shocked! Shocked. A society as violent as ours was ready to lynch whoever it was that was accused. The facts be damned!
First reports: Mohammad Alam, an Iranian immigrant.
Imagine if this Iranian immigrant had fallen into the hands of an American crowd? Would we have behaved any better than mobs that strung up Americans in Iraq and other places?
Have we lynch the latest accused? Sure we have. Sure we have. All the facts are not in yet and if this young man was let loose amongst us...he would stand a chance of making it passed "Stop, I'm innoce..." No panel, no prosecutor, no court has heard all the supposed evidence yet. The shooter was masked and in dark clothes in a darkened movie theater. Yet we would slaughter this accused man in anger.
Then there is the delusional and self-serving hand wringing.
Give me a break (Stossell where are you when we need you?)
What about the US Constitution and all our supposed sacred principles about rights?
We are all acting like some stupid mob.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, we must emote!
Look at how feelings move a mob ... we didn't even have all the facts before we all started emoting like stuck pigs at a slaughter. If some innocent person who was blamed had set foot in front of us all, we would have murdered him or her in righteous anger. We would have and we wouldn't have batted an eyelash doing it. Admit it. If we deny we would have moved as a mob and killed somebody before all the facts are in, we need to go back and watch the thread(s) on the Colorado Movie Shooting unfold.
no wonder political operatives, media, and corporate interests can manipulate us into hysteria over trivial points and issues during elections and debates. We Americans, as a group, are no better than our ape-like ancestors except in one things -- for all our societal progress and scientific discoveries, in the great scope of humanoid development, we humans, we Americans, are only a few generations removed from swinging in the trees.

That's Dante's take on IT and he'll stick by it, mob or no mob.
ps, Dante loved watching the USMB mob jump like puppets on a string in his thread and posts earlier. You people just don't get IT.

Care to intelligently and rationally discuss the American psyche in times of anxieties and distress? Care to reasonably take a look at how we Americans act when emotional buttons are pushed through random events or even through purposeful manipulation?
If not, move along.
