Like animals in a zoo
That thought just struck me a moment ago when Thom Hartmann was talking about the visits by various members of Team BushCo. I just had this image of them flying and driving around, going into the shelters, etc. and looking at all the people who have been so horrendously devastated by the slow response to Katrina. These people are so far removed from the reality of so many people's lives they have absolutely no concept of that reality. I think they look at these people and think, "Oh, lookey over there -- it looks like a 'Poorious Dark-a-People-ious'! And over there, a 'White-a-saurus Cracker-ous.'" I do not think that BushCo actually sees them as HUMAN BEINGS.

:grr:

1. Kissinger coined the phrase:
"Useless eaters."
The BFEE furthered the sentiment of the elite
towards the rest of the planet, Americans specifically, as
"One Fodder Unit."
That's you, me and everyone one else in this
country.

2. "Useless Eaters"????
Sounds like the definition of fungible. Gak, these people are heartless AND soulless!

3. Yup, "useless eaters."
Nice, huh?
COULD explain why all of the Bush appointees
are completely UNqualified and inappropriate though.
AS IN: The BFEE doesn't care about us (OFUs) AT ALL.

4. Heck I think there are laws
that would prevent even zoo animals from being treated the way the people of NO were treated.
