Different types of people, but all are human

If we had Bush in front of us now what would we do with him? Forgive him? Lock him up? Both? Shoot him?

I just think it's important to recognise that there are different types of people who CARE about human issues, and some of them care in different ways.

The bickering over direct-action, "violent" action, etc. is a smokescreen - hiding the real issues, dividing those people who all CARE (in their own ways).

I think there are five categories of people.

Rebel saints - caring, understanding people who make sacrifices to achieve justice e.g. Gandhi, Nelson Mandela.

Questioners - seekers of the truth.

Sheep - those who accept everything they are told by officialdom, and "follow the leaders". Flat earth believers.

Wannabe elites - e.g. most politicians, snobs.

Elite Schemers - e.g. Bush. With the power to really plot and scheme.

Most people who contribute to this site seem to me to be 'questioners'. I think we should devote even more energy to questioning the elites and their scheming, rather than questioning each other.

The BIG PICTURE is the important picture.

Questioners who persist in trying to prove themselves or their group to be "right", are more akin to wannabe elites.

But all these categories of people are human, ideally I suppose we should not demonise any of them. I've been guilty of that myself (Bush ya evil c*nt).

If we had Bush in front of us now what would we do with him? Forgive him? Lock him up? Both? Shoot him?
