But, hey, you're a successful entrepeneur, and that is great. But if you really want to practice the failed type of economic system, start now. I'm sure you make much more than I do, so send me enough money to where our lifestyles are equal. Never mind that I haven't displayed the guts to be my own boss as you, taken the risks and shown the initiative, just fork ovedr the money. You can start practicing the notion right now. Perfect timing, too, as summertime is coming up and I could use a bit more spending cash!

You garbled my message, my friend. Theory & practice are two very seperate things. The theory of a pure socialist model is doomed to fail, as is a pure democratic model....like organisms, they ned to adapt and intergrate what is successful.
On another note, the assignment I'm on .....I have to tell 40 people that their rates are getting cut, overtime is being abolished and they can take it or leave.
May I go on record ( behind the veil of this board!) as saying that the money guys are a bunch of heartless knobs!!!! I can guess they're going to ask me to cut my rates as well........can I send you a post dated check?

Sitting in my truck with my former wife in Sunland, California along side a group of Nazi party members waving flags.

My only thought at that time was: Right now, I feel ashamed to be white.

Nazism is hatred of other races and groups that do not conform to Nazi ideals of acceptance. I will gladly be unaccepted and continue to reject Nazi ideals and beliefs.

Happily, not a Nazi supporter,

So, what are you saying, B-T? The check is not in the mail?

deepwaters, I understand your sentiment.
I am from the South and am very proud of the South. The confederate flag is a beautiful sight to me as it stands for all the good things of both the past and the present here in the South.
When I see some neo-nazi, skin-head or klansman drapong himself in that flag it enrages me. I don't feel embarrassed to be either white or from the South, though, it gives me the overwhelming desire to go wherever the broadcast is originating from and bash some skulls wide open with an iron rod.

Don't mean to display a violent tendancy (although I have had one of those in my way-back past) but I really hate racists. Especially when they try to wrap themselves in my heritage.
