Che? Really? WOuld it take what kind of common law loving lawyer to take as insignificant the thousand or two summary executions directed by and occasionally performed by 'che' on arrested cubans, benificent loving che, who had no time or use for particular facts of individual cases or circumstances, and proudly stated such rather instead dispensing his own brand of lethal social justice based on his mood and his perception of the common good.
Ernesto was a romantic upper class pyschopath,, looking to excuse his own demons of need to purge his own comfortable upbringing by judgmentalsm and control of others, up to and including his morbid fear of bathing and other personal hygiene.

What, you the site owner now? Just took a looky see at your home page. I may be loud and brash, but I make my points and I admit when I am wrong.
How bout you?
You been spouting off about what is good for the country right?
Well, now that precedent is been set with forced purchase of health insurance.
And you here spouting off about slavery being for the good of the country and the communist party.
I suppose GM could build like 10 million of those crap Volts or whatever they are called and the government can force us to buy them.
What is good for the party erm I mean country right?
Oh, as for your condescending attitude about the Tea Party, are the progressive communists getting scared about the silent MAJORITY over there yet on the east coast? Mr Mason.

Third, the end of this "Us-v-Them" thinking needs to be rewired to be from the current "Left-v-Right" to the more hopeful and optimistic "American-v-Anti-American". We are all one darn nation and when is everyone going to wake up to the fact.

People who believe in forced socialism are anti-American. I mean really what is a true American? Someone who believes in personal freedom. And if you restrict personal freedom in any way, you are anti-American.
It's not about being right or wrong, moral or immoral. It's about leaving people the hell alone.

true socialism is to defer your personal gain in favor of a truly strong nation where everyone contributes and benefits. the corruption of the idea by human nature is unfortunate.
you perfectly reflect the nonsense i see and read day in and day out on this site. you don't like my opinion so you have attacked me personally, my beliefs, my service to this country; justifying it with nonsensical arguments to detract from the only point that i have made in every post on this topic.
service to this country should not have to be mandatory. it should be ingrained into your being. if it is not then you don't belong here.
your logic is unsound, your "educational" posts highly suspect; littered with fear, hate, and discontent...something that, i submit, you would have the tools to deal with had you ever served in any capacity.
you didn't serve, you've actually cried on here for 3 solid days about the possibility of someone forcing you to serve...and trust me, no one wants you in the military...so don't start with the military service should be voluntary garbage again. public and civil service is also accepted. kids in tulare county in CA already have to do community service in order to graduate jr. high and high school. see, you are even a bigger complainer than jr. high school students.

genitals strongly resemble an anatomically correct barbie doll.

your opinion does not matter to me in the slightest. you have not served and so are not really a person to me.

A culture of excuse-ism and non participation gets consumed by one that is more frimly based in laws of the jungle. Why are some afraid of duty? Selfishness and narcissism, "Oh MY mommy told me I was soo speshul and to let those ignorant fools protect my extra espeshul genes"
In all animal societies, there is no leisure of retirement class for the nonproducer or under acheiver. They're universally shunned and usually killed if they try to stick around and leach off the ones doing the work. That's our origin and why we evolved to something potentially higher and why seeking a life of nonproductive leisure is not socially functional or sustainable.
