				| As I have said in other posts, socialism is EVENT oriented, capitalism IDEA oriented.  As the top Democrat Party Campaign Chair  said a couple weeks ago (on CNN I think), EVENTS between now and the election will determine the outcome.  Not a word about IDEAS. Watch the media and see how much attention is on EVENTS versus Ideas. 
 Dots to me are specific  facts, truth, valid ideas.  To connect, or not connect the dots is logic, reasoning, imagination, and diagnostic skills.  What amazes me is that those liberals, like those in the 911 Commission  who blame the CIA, FBI, and White House for NOT CONNECTING the dots, have no capacity to even see the dot moreless understand one of them, or even have the talent to conect even two of them.  IE: The beheadings in the Middle East,  to me, is a dot, for one idea exists behind them, a value, an evil.  I don't think the typical liberal is seeng this for what it is, or how to connect them to any other dot.  To them they are just events, blame America, and generalize, generalize, and generalize.
 
 From my experiences, acedamia and liberals are mostly ONE DOT people.  One dot may be algebra, or another divorce law, etc.   Hit them with a complex subject dealing with more than one dot, and watch the confusion and the helter skelter., jumping from event to event, filibustering all the way, twisting and turning in the wind.
