Um...Marty, how do you throw adjectives like "the rich" into a value
equation. Is there some calculus by which you can determine how much more a
poor man's boat is worth than that of a rich man?
Ah, now Dave I think you're merely being disingenuous, rather than
merely simple.
Simply pointing out that you're spouting populist nonsense.

You live in a nice world Dave. I suppose that in your world the US
Justice system treats the indigenous and the coloured in the same way it
treats whites and rich?

Ah, a new variation on the populist theme. You seem to play the theme like a
Bach fugue, this time in the key of race.


You know Dave, simply because a widely held does not make it untrue,
quite the opposite in most cases.

Likening anything I do to a Bach fugue is quite an insult to Bach's
genius, but thanks anyway.

Cheers
Marty
