11. You evidently don't know what evidence is.

You provided no evidence. None. Your made up mechanics are not evidence. Evidence would consist of facts that bear out your contentions. And no, your ad homs don't count either.

You expressed an opinion. Opinion is subjective. It is not fact. It may or may not be "truth" and "truth" is something else with a high degree of subjectivity.

Where are you wrong? You espouse a conspiracy theory- that there is a cabal of people methodically planning genocide (and btw, what is their motive?).

What you haven't done is made a coherent argument. I contend that the results we're seeing are generated by the inherent and serious flaws of our culture of exploitative capitalism- that the institution itself and the culture of the institution are a structure that produces the negative results we see all around us. Furthermore, I'll argue that this extends beyond an economic structure to a wider cultural American structure- call it the high western culture if you will. It's expansionist and individualistic to the detriment of the larger group.

Are you following? I'm adhering to Orwell's admonitions about writing and trying to put things simply.

And yes, claiming that there is a cabal of powerful people methodically planning and carrying out genocide is as sure as CT as is possible.

Logical refutation of your adolescent bullshit, is hardly a hissyfit, darlin'. What you're doing here couldn't be more obvious.

Hugs and kisses,
