How true.. and I think.. ironic. The "Cap's" aka: "conservatives"- love to gush about "self-sufficiency" and all the rest of their double-speak & euphemisms.. and all the while they cram communism down our throats as they always have.. by crowding as many people onto the barest minimum of land.. "common" backyards are how they love to say you don't need privacy (not for the wealthy though.. they positively adore their privacy) - and slums are by-products of their crafting also. Yes.. be "independent" - no socialism..!! Be "Free" - yes.. and that leads to grandpa's saying of:
The most fascinating aspect of this debate is an absolute refusal to acknowledge that the rich dominate resources and have power and influence over how life can develop.
That's a phenomenal denial that, in my opinion, should be placed on the scandal meter somewhere near Holocaust denial. I have a hard time even addressing this denial as anything but stupidty, because you would literally have to be stupid to not see such an obvious trend.

Yep.. true. Money talks & bullcrap walks.. eh..!! Well.. capitalists are like alcoholics.. they must slurp up ever increasing amounts to get their "high" :rolleyes: just as any other addiction.. greed is no different..
However, the consequences of systematic greed are greater than those of your average alcoholic.
