The old standard line used by the so-called People's Democratic Republic of whatever crowd when recruiting for their grievance laden cause--sounded good...especially to those who are ill-educated and knew no better. However, I was always amazed at those who were oftentimes very educated and still bought that line. Guess some things really don't change all that much. ;)
