The "free enterprise system" is out of control and, in the last decade
especially, has been milking this country and the middle class dry. The
system has done little lately but promote the wretched excess the rich
relish at the expense of the middle and lower income classes.

I do not advocate general "nationalization" of corporations. I do
advocate much more control of corporations, especially those
corporations in the areas of energy production and delivery, health
insurance, hospitalization and transportation. I will admit to being
intrigued with the idea of public control of natural resources,
especially those resources in the field of energy. I am impressed with
what the Norwegians have done with their oil resources.

Your final comment in your personal attack (and that is what it is,
after all), is just wishful thinking on your part. I was neither
tormented nor a tormentor in my youth...or since. I simply find today's
conservatives disgusting.

I mentioned here several times my mother was a lifelong Republican and a
minor functionary in the party in our home state. If she were alive
today, she'd have nothing to do with the national GOP and its
small-mindedness, racism, and hate-mongering.

No one would doubt your expertise in that area.

The only question is what created your hateful and unpleasant
personality. We can only guess but it almost always stems from some
childhood conflict, perhaps parental, or perhaps the fact that you
really didn't fit in to the Yankee/WASP Connecticut culture where you
grew up. Too bad you never got help for it.

You don't know much sociology, either. I didn't grow up in waspy
Fairfield County, west of Bridgeport. I grew up in ethnic New Haven, a
small manufacturing city at that time dominated religiously by Catholics
and Jews, and ethnically by European immigrants and their children and
their families, mainly from Italy, Ireland, Poland, Hungary, Greece and,
interestingly, Portugal, and blacks. It was a polyglot culture. The
mayor was of Italian descent, as were many of the Aldermen. Our
Congressman was Italian. Hardly WASPs.

I grew up in a New Haven suburb. Our neighbors on one side were Italian
immigrants. The father became a lawyer, the mother was a traditional
Italian homemaker and they had four kids, all of whom were pals of mine.
The kids became lawyers, a doctor and a public school teacher. The house
on the other side held a family of Americans of Greek heritage. They had
one son who I remember as a superior athlete.

After junior high was over for the day, most of us walked two blocks to
the playground at a nearby Catholic church, mostly Irish Catholics. The
nuns supervised the playground after hours, so it was a safe place for
us kids to hang out with other kids of every race, religion and ethnic
background. Our Boy Scout troop met in the classrooms of a synagogue and
day school, because the scoutmaster, who was not Jewish, knew the head
rabbi there. When we got to go swimming in the winter, we went to either
the Boys' Club, the YMCA, or the Jewish Community Center, all of which
had pretty nifty indoor pools.

So, you see, W'hine, there wasn't much WASP culture around to give me
that WASP feeling of entitlement.

What explains your holier-than-thou persona, W'hine? Did your WASP
parents imbue you with the concept that you were, somehow, superior,
because of your heritage? With an attitude like that, you would have
lasted two days at Hillhouse High School, which in those days, but not
now, was the top public high school in the state.

This is off topic and a personal attack. Why are you doing what you
say you're against? Take this somewhere else.

Why must you always bring loogy into discussion? Are you that infatuated
with someone that you must post about him even though he's not posted
here in a long, long time?

Actually, that's the reason he does so. He knows Loogy isn't responding, so he
doesn't need to worry about being harshly put down.

I agree with this post.

This is off topic. Why are you posting this here? Take your political
crap somewhere else.

There ARE very few people who advocate overthrowing free enterprise
and want to nationalize corps. You're claiming Harry wants both, but I
haven't seen any evidence to support that. What I have seen is that
you've got no problem with ad hominem attacks, which you claim to be
against. It's called being a hypocrite.
