you're onto something here, mr T. people are rebuffed by a name that smacks of nationalism, genetics, or finger-pointing.

but it's the best and truest so far, it's very difficult to name.

a simple 'sociopathy' doesn't have the same heft.

Mohawks.  "I pity the foo!"

Catch this.  CSPAN this morning.  Washington Journal. People calling in concerning the appointment of US Senates by Governors if a Senator quits, dies etc.  One guy, probably a wealthy Repub., wants to go back to the old system when the state govts select the replacement; DON"T HAVE A SPECIAL ELECTION.  And I quote:

"If the people choose in an election, that smacks of mob rule in the form of democracy".

I can't believe he said that!

I've got to prepare for the future.  Is there a store called "Bullhorns R US"?  I'll need one to urge on my rabid loyal followers, the ones with the torches and pitchforks.

Now where's the fun in that! - Megatron

WWII slang was always to the point...

And 'modern' management (and marketing) is still rooted in the two dimensional top-down logistics solutions of the period. The rank and file have always known it is impossible to impose order (freeze) on chaos (steam). The best you can hope for is half-way between, i.e. liquid situations that can be partly contained.
