[JasonC]

You don't trust the constitution. You don't respect anything but your own power, and anything anyone else does, you sneer at. Meanwhile, do you know what you have ever done for me? Not a goddamn thing. But the United States has. It has created every drop of justice the world has seen in the lifetime of any man living, in blood and in sweat and in tears. And you --- haven't. You are simply resentfully attacking your benefactors.

JasonC... what you may be failing to realize is that the United States is dying as a free market engine. The productive class is being forced to fund the non-productive class to the point where all of that lump in the throat, Fourth of July crap is dying... We are entering a period of economic decline that, like the British Empire, may well be unstoppable. We are fighting here and in other forums to try to preserve what we thought was the deal. The battle will not be easy, as Reagan Revolution types like us (the free market people who made the system work for us and for our communities) are now in the minority. The Losers are in the majority and they don't give one rip for anything we talk about or feel strongly about. To them, we are a path to high fashion lifestyle.

If we lose this battle, I'll buy you a beer in Singapore...
