Of course it makes the grain grow better, just knowing what lies

Amazing the twists and turns posts here take... * :)


The point is that it is one thing to be "just wrong" and another to be
as willfully ignorant as HK is. *Every day you should wake up and
thank God for producing the "greedy capitalists" who have made your
life possible.


Bull****. Capitalism has its place, but the sort of "greedy capitalism"
since the 1980s does not. I'm as much for businesses making reasonable
profits as anyone else, but rapacious capitalism? No. That's the sort of
capitalism that brings us the Love Canal, Enron, George W. Bush, the
failure of our economic system, et cetera.

Hey...shouldn't you be out building or repairing something else that
will fall apart under you? *Or planning to cross the Gulf of Mexico on a
surfboard you built from leftover orange crates with a sail made of
recycled green trashbags? * :)- Hide quoted text -

Amazing. An alleged mechanical engineer that insults anyone who likes
to, and takes pride in making things, fixing things, etc. Gee he's the
only alleged engineer that I know that won't touch anything
mechanical.....!!!
