Willie, you can't be such a political ingenue that you throw Marx at me?

What's it matter to you, Luis?

Seems to me that YOU'RE the one babbling a lot of incoherent nonsense about "the will of the people" and ideology not making any difference because social engineering is going to happen anyway.

Heck, I could quote Winnie-the-Pooh to you and you wouldn't know the difference.

"Seems to me that YOU'RE the one babbling a lot of incoherent nonsense about "the will of the people" and ideology not making any difference."

Well Willie, I have my reasons for that, and I will readily admit my advantage over you, mine is not a "chance of birth" citizenship, I had to earn mine.

I had to earn it by understanding it, and the underlying principles...specifically that principle which commands the Federal government to acquiesce to the will of the people.

You see Willie, the first three words of the U.S. Constitution arer the single most important words in that venerable document: "We the people...", and that's never changed.

I realize that you believe that this idea of government by the will of the people is nonsense, I disagree, as did my role model:

"From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden." -- Ronald Reagan

Maybe you should read considerably less Winnie The Pooh.
