video image enhancer machine Explanation: Probably means vidicraft a machine used in video film production. Without knowing more Im just guessing that someone is complaining that craftsmanship is being replaced by unskilled drones using machines. |

strange word...practitioners of witchcraft??? Explanation: A misprint? Guesses: is it some kind of -graph? or -gram? like pictograph/gram? is it something to do with victim, victimisation? is it a craft? eg witchcraft, (handicraft?) witches, wizards, practitioners of witchcraft, perhaps... is it a means of transport? aircraft, hovercraft, spacecraft... |

peer agreement (net): +1victicrat?? Explanation: is what provocative thinker Larry Elder, who happens to be black, calls the "victicrat" mentality. "The victicrat mentality says 'You owe me'. It says that forces conspire to pull me down and to hold me back. Thus the black victicrat mentality demands not just equal rights, but equal results, a goal that damages the psyche of both blacks and non-blacks. Black leaders teach blacks to think of themselves as victims and of whites as victimizers." http://capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2486 A victicrat, Elder explains, 'blames all ills, problems, concerns, and unhappiness on others.' In other words, a victicrat is always the victim, and never responsible for anything that happens to him or her. The refusal to accept responsibility for one's own life, Elder claims, is the ultimate act of self-defeat. He does not, by any means, limit the mentality to blacks alone. As he demonstrates with a quote from feminist Andrea Dworkin, who claims that 'all men benefit from rape, because all men benefit from the fact that women are not free in this society,' anyone could be guilty of the victicrat mindset. http://www.dartreview.com/archives/2000/10/30/ten_things_you... |
