Let them eat cake, eh?

Oooh, the Marie Antoinette line, used as a last line of self defense.

Doesn't matter that Marie and her King husband controlled France with an iron hand and protected the privilaged class(in Marie's case the Nobles and in your cause to protect IT workers).

JMO, but it seems that you are the one who wants to eat his cake while denying the cake to others.

Gotta go for the time being since I am preparing a nice Sunday dinner for my parents, which is what I usually do on Sundays. Porterhouse steaks, shrimp ring, sauteed mushrooms and onions, baked potoatoes, asparagus, corn on the cob, and for dessert Lemon Meringue Pie.

Total cost, $35, for a dinner for four.

Oh that's right I am eating pie and not cake. Must be such a disappointment to you in your world of doom and gloom America.

No, the last line of defense is to call someone a Nazi.

My use of the "let them eat cake" line to Aggamemnon, and indirectly to you, is to make the point that you two are smugly declaring "The hell with American jobs, let them all be CEO's." -- just as Antoinette smugly answered when told of her countrymen's suffering. Not everyone can eat cake. Similarly, not everyone can be a CEO.

You know, I've noticed you preface a lot of your comments with JMO or IMO. Is that DaneSpeak for "I, Dane, am about to make another totally off-the-wall comment"?

In actuality, I feel quite the opposite: I want all Americans to have high-paying jobs -- even you, once you get out of high-school.

Oh that's right I am eating pie and not cake. Must be such a disappointment to you in your world of doom and gloom America.

Another "neener neener boo boo" retort from the Danester.
