Your next problem is the "Green" thing. It has no basis in logic, or pier reviewed papers, it's junk science done by a bunch of intellectuals with an agenda against capitalism. You can change the world by making something, look at Bill Gates, he made something that worked, and now he's rich.
I'm a doctor, I make something that works, I save lives. Yes, I get paid for it, and I need the pay that I get. Do I have a nice home? It's average, it's a townhome. Do I have a Mercedes? No I have a Chevy pick up, and it's a Colorado not a Siverado. My wife is in medicine too, does she have a Mercedes? No, she has a Chevy Blazer. We have a cabin at a lovely lake, we saved for that, long and hard. Is it an estate? No, it's a cabin and we love it. Do we have a yacht? No, We have a fishing boat and a pontoon. Do we have a lot of money to spend? No, we spent it on our children's education and their well being, and a little fun at the cabin for all of us.
Don't stand there and preach your "progressiveness" to me until you work 15 hours a day, seven days a week, and try to raise your own children. Don't you tell me that I have to deny my children the things that I never had. Don't you tell me what to do in my life, or with the hard earned money that I work for.
I get so sick and tired of you self righteous bastards telling me that I have no charity. I don't brag about my charity, and I never will. All that horse crap that you swill, match my charity, dollar for dollar and hour for hour, it would be like pi$$ing in the ocean for you.
You love to say, "walk a mile in my shoes", I got news for you, your shoes couldn't take it. 15 hours on your feet with nothing but sick people to care for! You want to try that pally, huh? It isn't fun, but I love it, and I wouldn't have worked this hard to do it, to have the honor of doing it, if I wasn't in love with my profession, and I am.
Son, you need a life. Green bullsh!t isn't life, human life is the wonder of the world ,it is what God created, and He meant it to be preserved. That's science, save lives. Trees are meant to be houses, oil is meant to be fuel (and other things), animals are meant to be eaten, humans are meant to be saved. Get something more that some anarchist philosophy, it's counterproductive. Care for something that really makes a difference.
That's why we all are here at FreeRepublic. We're dedicated to the preservation of the things that make America great. We're doctors, lawyers, welders, truck drivers, professors, farmers, ranchers, business owners, mechanics, housewives, clerks, and everything that makes a great nation, a free nation. We are people that don't want government in our lives, cause it's best when we are left alone to be free. Son, we are the nation, you can like that or not, but that's what this place is all about. Sure, you get to sound off, but we do too. And, you got a little of my 2 cents, so there you go.
Think about that, and come back later. Just think a bit.
