That's a keeper bump.
You're welcome! LOL, the emotion is because they 'care' so much, lolol. That is a great observation you make, that most of them simply can't explain what they believe or why and (ideally) when confronted with that, the mature ones should easily see why conservatism works. And so many, like toddlers, can't express in words their position (because of the inconsistencies of the dummie system), so they erupt in tantrum.
I think those with one class are dangerous...you know what they say about a little knowledge. I think none, or three.
They could make a 2 year econ class structure part of HS curriculum, but then the educators would have to rush out and hire a bunch of leftie econ teachers...
Luckily I had more than two! ;-o
"Law abiding"
On the one hand without the rule of law we have chaos. A thought that just scares the hell out of me like nothing else. But in this case I’ll be a full blown 100% hypocrite. Screw the law. CCW permits are a control issue. Bad guys pay no attention to any of the nations laws and if all the good guys do just as they are told they will be nothing more then sheep led off to slaughter.
Besides, every time I hear the words "Law abiding" I keep thinking of that scene in the Blues Brothers with the Illinois Nazi’s. Somebody has to be the one to break the law and run ‘em over.
excellent list.
"3. Immediately purchase a ticket to any of the following countries and pledge to stay there at least six months - Russia, Cuba, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, or Iran"
My version of this was: I had a job in Silicon Valley in the mid-1980s, and a coworker was a Jew who had emigrated from the Soviet Union. Being Jewish myself, we ended up becoming friends. Along with happening upon the book How Democracies Perish, by Revel, this was the inflection point in my lifelong journey from liberalism to conservativism.
