Yeah, let's get over that "gotta do it fo the poor" (and middle class)
syndrome.

A bit late in getting on your soap box on this one, Jim. Did you retire
from
being an ambulance chaser because of difficulty in getting your papers in
before the statute of limitations ran?


Wow Dave! I'm sure that Jim will fold up in the face such a comprehensive
and cogent rebuttal; you systematically destroyed every point of Jim's
idiotic statement.

Now I can clearly see why you take such umbrage when others sink to
baseless ad hominem attacks.

Well Done!

Cheers
Marty


At least he's not an obstructionist!

Better late than never Dave. Always interesting to hear the latest
version of Dickens's satirical "reduce the surplus population." - No one
admits it of course, but it's still applicable to some of the true
believer right-wingers.

Malthus is passe these days, Jim. Today Dickens would be lampooning those
who insist on eliminating the carbon footprint of folks like algore..


So, you believe we should increase the carbon footprint? Is that good for
the economy?

Sure that wasn't Swift, "A Solution to the Irish Problem", or something
like that?

I believe Swift's solution was to eat the children. But Jim was alluding to
one of Scrooge's throw-away lines in A Christmas Carol.


Ahh.. the penny drops, I'd forgotten the Christmas Carol line.
