 clip-on-tie says: "I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies but not the madness of the people" - Sir Isaac Newton You really think Obama is a liberal? I'm sorry. I guess you really didn't suggest that at all. It's just a pet peeve of mine, regarding the use of the word 'liberal'. This article is hogwash. He is bashing the worst parts of each ideology. Anyone can do that. Yet he hasn't much to say about the "wonders" of Capitalism, probably because there aren't any, at least not for our descendants. What about the WMDs in Iraq? (that did not exist?) Well... Capitalism is, if I remember my Wealth of Nations correctly, is about the goal of ever expanding market share towards monopoly control, a process that has led us to essentially be consuming the planet we live on. And it's sole focus on ever increasing profit has led to systemic corruption of the likes of Enron, Tyco, Worldcom, and the others waiting in the wings to explode. Growth for the sake of growth is the etiology of the cancer cell -Edward Abbey Whoever believes growth can continue exponentially in a finite environment is either a fool or an economist. -Kenneth Boulding I just felt a nice cool breeze or was that a spirit?  Well... Capitalism is, if I remember my Wealth of NationsThe word capitalism, pejoratively defined, was coined by Marx. In reality we a free market economy. A free market economy encourages excellence and growth. It is guided by an informed and self-interested market. It's ends culminate in the highest if good....if left to it's own devices, without manipulation ( that does not mean zero oversight or legal guidelines and standards. ) A free market economy is the ultimate of tolerance, and any stifling of... Free market for whom? For us? Or for those with money? Liberty for whom? A free market economy is the ultimate of tolerance, and any stifling of it is the ultimate of intolerance.You can't be serious. Kind of sounds like Bush,"If you are not with me, you are against me". Or for those with money?kat, don't be a dolt. The poorest of the poor live better in America than 80% of the rest of the world. The free market works. No one makes you spend money on anything you don't want. The wealthy are not the enemy, no matter how much your immature, bellyaching, ignorant insanity wants to believe they are. Grow up. A free market economy is the ultimate of tolerance, and any stifling of it is the ultimate of intolerance.I still can't believe you said that. The wealthy are not the enemyThen let them let the poor run the show for a while. Unless, of course, it is the poor that are the enemy. Apparently, the poor have a difficult enough time running their own lives. We are called to help the poor, so help the poor. They will always be with us because we will always have those who are lazy and/or helpless. Two traits we should not want in those who "run things". I still can't believe you said that.The reason you cannot believe it is probably because you are intolerant. Yes,I am intolerant of trade agreements made by unelected plutocrats that circumvent the existing laws of various countries designed to protect the citizens and environment from profit driven entities. Who is called to help the poor? 13 million American children go to bed without a meal every night and you think you have what it takes to manage the rest of the planet? Clean up your own back yard before tell others how to clean theirs. 13 million American children go to bed without a meal every night andWow. With all the billions spent to combat poverty every year, you would think food might just be a drop in the bucket. Then there are alos all the charities. Then there is the relative cheapness of food in America, which is a benefit of capitalism, by the way. 1. Government has taken over the role of charity giver. People are becoming disconnected from the duty of charity. The love of hate is epidemic even among those who profess to love. Vile. Clean up your own back yard before tell others how to clean theirs.The sures... So, now you want to call it Capitalism. Are you going soft on Marxism? What happened to "free market"? The surest sign of someone who does nothing for others is the one who points the finger and says others must do more.This is the 3rd time this clip you have berated me. What is up with that? I wasn't suggesting to "do more", just redirect the laser beam a little closer to home. I'm not berating you. I'm shining the light in your face. If you feel berated, then, I don't know what to tell you. You'll have to work that out on your own. Maybe the fact you feel berated is telling you something. I guess you would rather talk about me than the subject at hand. I am up for that. Why would the most talked about clipper want to talk about you. I want to talk about me, but you keep bringing yourself up. Ah..... To be a man who loves himself, he will go far. But I also know that they have been talking about Charles Manson for decades. You are unreal. |
