that it that is at least part of the answer.

It's like explaining a color that has never been seen by to another person, it's not part of the spectrum we all know, it's unique to itself.

These people do not act in their own, or in all of society's best interest. It really is a fiction, a mental illness that drives the rank and file.

But surly the Powers That Be (PTB) know that the rank and file have been bamboozled, how is it that their brains don't occasionally direct them to what will do the best for themselves?
