The millions of ordinary voters who voted for Bush are also human "dirtbags."

::::::::

Human 'dirtbags' are the millions of ordinary voters who voted for Bush in the 2000 presidential election, again in the 2004 presidential election and would again, if they had the opportunity. If asked why they voted for him, they would respond that they had no choice because he was the best man each time. These are the same people who have worked for 3M, Haliburton, Bechtel, Lockheed or another giant corporation all their working lives and are proud of it. They also say loudly 'not in my backyard' when a social service facility is proposed in their neighborhood.

Also, they are the people who vote right-wing politicians into other offices, federal, state and local, not just the presidency. They do not discriminate; just ask one of them. I can't get angry about them becauase they have not been educated by the American higher education system, rather they have been taught the minimum skills necessary to function in a job. This is especially true in the Business and the Science fields. Seldom are they required to take mandatory courses in Sociology, Philosophy. History and Political Science.

The main stream media contribute to the ignorance of the human 'dirtbags' by teaching them that major corporations have their wellfare at heart and are basically good. Consequently, I pity these human 'dirtbags' becauase they know no better nor will they ever get the opportunity to learn. They will never know the greater satisfaction that comes from serving people in need, even if the monetary rewards are less and there is little opportunity for advancement.
