[Fredslist] Informal Poll On "Survivor"

[COREMBO at aol.com]

Gentle Ladies and Gentlemen of Gotham:
 
The sword has two edges.
 
Many of us argue that a major factor in the increasing divisiveness in  our 
society is the past four decades' emphasis of group rights over individual  
rights.
 
In my view, groups like Gotham City Networking have demonstrated that  
freedom of choice with respect to group affiliations can be handled in a  
responsible and very salutary manner.  
 
Throughout history, however, societies have been harmed when  group rights 
became ends in themselves, at the expense of individual  rights.  Win-lose in 
many cases has reversed itself as lose-win, as  other groups have simply become 
the new victims of discrimination, in a type of  "musical chairs" of victims. 
Resentments run in both directions as  each group is convinced as to its 
perceived rights.
 
Enter BigMedia.
 
BM can be counted on to take every societal pimple, and turn it instantly  
into stage 4 melanoma.
 
BM truly stinks.
