Yes, you're right, James. I was thinking of the larger national discussion of the income inequality, which is not necessarily about capitalism itself, but about the advantages of the wealthy that has created an unhealthy imbalance in our society. It is weakening our democracy to a dangerous degree.

I agree with the premise of the OP: Inequality like this is unsustainable.
[Economic or income] inequality like this is unsustainable.
That does not mean that the opposite of the current situation is complete economic parity - sameness or uniformity. The word "inequality" in this context is describing a matter of degree.
Seems you're tilting at windmills (or strawmen) to assume that anyone is proposing communism as the solution to the widening income gap.

Bizarre statement in April 2012 Awake
by dozy inas books go, it is tiny, but it is immeasurably great in its essence.
it can be carried in ones pocket,but if it were found in a library of 90,000 different books, it would probably turn out to be the most important one of them all.. wow a strong endorsement of the bible?
er no this is the wtbts we are talking about here.

I have to think that if the quote from 'a famous mexican author' is real, that the author mistook the title and is thinking of Frankl's book.
BINGO!

What would be amazing is if the TSA agents actually recognized the pasty-faced Mr. Paul first of all, and then secondly, decided to "single him out" for further scrutiny. Based on what?
If they decided to do that, it would have to be as a group of 4-5 people, and it would have to be pretty spontaneous since they don't have knowledge ahead of time of who's traveling. And how do they do that? A nod, a wink - "Let's give this mo'fo' a bad time - he's a Republican"?
Puh-leese.

This happens to us all the time (Mr Bee has some metal parts) - by the time I collect our stuff and tie my shoes, he's done. He's not bothered by it, nor does he feel molested.
Rand Paul is a jackass.

I think they all understand that this is just play-acting. Like Newt's "outrage" at John King's question about open marriage.

We had a great time! We must have been near Burn - we played in Bradenton, stayed in St Armands, Lido Key, Sarasota - beautiful place. The water was clear and blue, the sand powdery white, so fine that it squeaked underfoot. Drove through Lake Suzy, Port Charlotte, Naples. Drove out to Gasparilla Island - apparently the W Bushes were there for a holiday month.
The golf was great - just too much water! I left a few golf balls there.
We saw a few alligators, lots of osprey, herons, owls, egrets and a couple of eagles. We didn't see any noseeums, but we did get bit by a few.
We were there a few years ago, but this time was better. Definitely will return.

Nothing More To Say
by Farkel ini really have nothing much more to say, except to say thank you to all the people who have contributed to me in my threads and all the people whom i battled over the years.
the battles have been most entertaining and enlightening.
i've learned a great deal from them, and i've laughed a great deal from the idiotic attempts of fools to make a coherent argument (think "dubs").. it's been a roller-coaster ride for me over a decade and it has consumed a huge amount of my time.
