Yes, I know that mushroom remark well, and it goes well with how the authorities and government disseminate information to the masses in this country, and I am pretty sure, others abroad, as well. We are spoon fed that four letter adjective with nothing other than a silver spoon, and many of our brethren eat it up, and ask for seconds. There is a saying I like to say when explaining a topic that is murky and lacking concrete data. I say to a disbelieving person, "You can pour syrup on excrement, but that doesn't make it pancakes." Very good points!
Quote from : Wikipedia : Dialectic : Hegelian Dialectic
Hegelian dialectic, usually presented in a three-fold manner, was stated by Heinrich Moritz Chalybäus as comprising three dialectical stages of development: a thesis, giving rise to its reaction, an antithesis, which contradicts or negates the thesis, and the tension between the two being resolved by means of a synthesis.
Although this model is often named after Hegel, he himself never used that specific formulation.
Hegel ascribed that terminology to Kant.
Carrying on Kant's work, Fichte greatly elaborated on the synthesis model, and popularized it.
On the other hand, Hegel did use a three-valued logical model that is very similar to the antithesis model, but Hegel's most usual terms were: Abstract-Negative-Concrete.
Sometimes Hegel would use the terms, Immediate-Mediated-Concrete. Hegel used these terms hundreds of times throughout his works.
The formula, Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis, does not explain why the Thesis requires an Antithesis.
However, the formula, Abstract-Negative-Concrete, suggests a flaw in any initial thesis—it is too abstract and lacks the negative of trial, error and experience.
The same applies to the formula, Immediate-Mediated-Concrete.
For Hegel, the Concrete, the Synthesis, the Absolute, must always pass through the phase of the Negative, that is, Mediation.
This is the actual essence of what is popularly called Hegelian Dialectics.

Friendly fire?
What really happened in the hood
Fort?
Some things are best left alone perhaps... Listen to your President, he has been well advised.
Quote from : Fort Hood Shooting
In the Fort Hood shooting of November 5, 2009, a gunman opened fire in the Soldier Readiness Center of Fort Hood—the most populous United States military base in the world, located just outside Killeen, Texas—killing 13 people and wounding 30 others.
Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army Major and psychiatrist, was shot and incapacitated by civilian police officers and later charged in the shootings.
Hasan was hospitalized on a ventilator and by November 9 was conscious and able to talk.
He is being held under heavy guard and treated at an undisclosed area of Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas.
On November 12, he was charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and may face additional charges at court-martial.
While no motive for the attack has been determined, investigators are examining Hasan's past communications with a radical Muslim leader, links to Pakistan and previous statements critical of military policy.

He is doing what the people who put him in office want him to do. He can be thrown out ,but in all likelyhood another pupet will be installed. The problems in the south are beyond Obama.
The voters and our laws are being ignored,and no one knows what to do. What is happening beneath the suface (strange suicides and homocides)in this country is most frightening of all. People are afraid that if they do not shut up and look the other way they will become a crime statistic.
