"What are you smoking? "

Nothing. Never did. Never will. Don't even drink.

"You have no, none, zero right to anyone else's money. (BTW, what you're asserting has a name - socialism) I'm sorry for your predicament, but frankly, its irrelevant."

Sorry, fella, but until the laws are taken off the books, I DO have a right to this money. Soooo, change the laws. You seem to good at grousing and marginalizing other people. Are you equally good at public speaking and raising a campaign chest?

And as for me being a socialist ... well, them's fightin' words. I FOUGHT against socialism in the jungles of Vietnam, among other places. To imply that I'm a socialist is pure trash talk, and an insult.

Steve:
Interesting reparte' between you and others... Thanks..

One of those rare events, IMO. Everybody is right... because american socialism is a convoluted mess.. the conversation should rightfully be one also.. No silver bullet will ever kill american socialism, pandora is out of the box.

And the democrats are living in the box and the republicans are remodeling it... for FREE.. The libertarians are tok'ing across the street laughing about the crazy old lady living in the basement(but there is no basement)... Lady Liberty has been screwed so many times shes not a lady anymore and Uncle Sam is the PerP doing it..

Wonder if communism is the political system in hell !... Oh! well... 2nd cup of coffee... cheerio..

When you take your hand out of my pocket, you can lecture me about grousing and marginalizing.

Think of me as one of those "radical individualists" that Al Gore loathes so much.
