Wow...Bert still posts here, and is still advocating for greed. *What a
surprise.

Until you had reposted his post, Richard, I thought he had disappeared
entirely.

Good filtering... * :)

Here's a good, rainy day read for you ....

Oh crap - you just had to bring that up didn't you?

Too much of neo-liberal/Democratic party politics is tied up in the
outmoded ideas of race and cultural identity. *There is no shortage of
politicians willing to stoke fears of racial backsliding in order to
keep voting coalitions intact.

Those with leftist tendencies — like Harry - *are constantly trying to
“remind” us how racist we still are, as a society, and how necessary
igovernment protection is against "institutional" racism and
multicultural nonsense that now permeates every venue of American
life.

A move back toward individualism is anathema to progressive politics,
particularly as such a movement would weaken established coalition
paradigms.

The most damage being done by progressivism takes place in the schools
where identification "communal" principles, "fairness" and
non-competitive status of grades makes it difficult for those who’ve
been indoctrinated to break free of the structure of liberal race and
cultural ideology.

In short, American life is no longer about the individual, but about
the collective.

That's what's runining the country.

I will now return to my cave and comtemplate my navel and the lint
therein. *:)- Hide quoted text -

Remind me to tell you about the week my wife and the Mouse spent with
our oldest in DC, she is a masters from American Univerisity. She
lives a very unique minimalist lifestyle, as did I when I was her age.
but her intolerance for those who did not understand of accept the
lifestyle was intolerant, to the point of being downright mean... My
girls learned a lot down there about the "collective" and how those
involved look at the rest of us who don't subscribe.
