Powerless Attire

Headwear, clothing, and footwear designed, produced, marketed and sold primarily in retail store chains which are intended to make the wearer appear less powerful and preferably powerless.
The "flat cap" exemplifies "powerless attire," a garment which makes the wearer look powerless. Though or perhaps because flat caps have been worn for centuries, so very few individuals realize how it really affects the appearance of the individual who wears one, the way others treat him, his identity and his self-concept. The history of the flat cap is very telling. It began to be worn in Northern England after a 1571 Act of Parliament decreed that on Sundays and holidays, all males over 6 years of age, except for the nobility and "persons of degree", were to wear woollen caps on pain of a fine of three farthings (3/4 penny) per day. The flat cap became firmly entrenched as a recognized mark of a non-noble subject, such as a burgher, tradesman, or apprentice. Police or military officer's caps have the elevation in the front and make the individuals who wear them look powerful.

Genetic Quality

The term encapsulates the fact that each individual's genetic quality is superior or inferior to other individual's and that each individual merits a specific rank on an imaginary 'genetic quality ladder' which is determined by numerous characteristics, such as their physical structure, appearance, intelligence, personality, talents, and abilities.
Thought the "Declaration of Independence (1776) states that "all men are created equal," those five words only mean that every human being is 'created' by means of sexual intercourse and that every American is entitled to the same legal rights. As everyone can see, each human being's genetic quality is superior or inferior to other's genetic quality. Even siblings possess different levels of genetic quality. Each individual's position on the "genetic quality hierarchy ladder" is determined by the quality and refinement of her or his physical features and by her or his level of intelligence, personality, and other talents and abilities. To scientifically determine an individual's 'overall genetic quality rating, different genetic characteristics are assigned a numerical value and added to determine an overall score. Anyone who denies that some human beings are genetically superior to others may have been fooled by other human beings, be attempting to fool others into thinking that is what she or he thinks, and/or may also be fooling themselves into thinking that everyone is genetically equal.

salaried slave

Slave owners figured out that they can exploit human beings more profitably by tricking them and enslaving them covertly. The trick works like this. Employers post a help wanted ad, interview candidates and hire the ones they see will be more productive. They pay each employee a salary. By hiring a worker employers, some of who are in reality slave masters, have shifted the burden of maintaining a slave from themselves to the employee because now the employee is the one who must obtain his or her own food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. That is what salaries are for, and that's why some 'Help Wanted' ads should really be called 'Slave Wanted' ads, some employees a 'salaried slave,' and some employers 'slave masters.'
