All nations have an elite financial class; the difference is that in Marxist societies the financial elite are the political elite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just one of several techniques to remembering things. I used that a few times, but never mastered the technique though. That takes a lot of concentration and to remember a tome - it would take a very, very large estate - not just a house. 2 minutes ago, TakeYouToTasker said: This isn’t accurate.

This is true, and because he's currently a bona fide member of the ruling elite, he naturally assumes that he and his darling thief and embezzling wife will have a life of ease at the expense of the millennials who adore him so. Hugo Chavez was also so adored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But “they did it too” is brother -sister logic. Quote they don't even believe in the USA and while funny is truly sad if you stop to think about it. Not true. They believe in the USA too, and it’s just as wrong when Dems say the right doesn’t believe in the country as a whole. America is not an agreed-upon concept. It is an idea that encompasses many beliefs, many of which are in conflict, and those beliefs change over time. We are big enough to have the left, right, center, conspiracists, stoners... 30 minutes ago, 4merper4mer said: Lighten up Francis. BM has the purest of intentions to make us all better.

That is really a two part thing and you're being unfair IMO. I can assure you that I am not obsessed with you. I don't know what you mean by he who must not be named other than it is someone else that is obsessed with you. Based on your politics my guess would be Tom Tuttle from Tacoma Washington but I could be wrong. Anyway your poetry stuff did draw me in I suppose, but it isn't an obsession. The stuff you've posted is all fluffy and clearly written by people who sat in rooms and thought all day after leading a cushy existence. That's fine but there are other places in the world, and some have more of an edge. Poetry from there is important too, wouldn't you agree? The oak leaf is different from the maple leaf because of its neighborhood. It doesn't make either one wrong. Both classics give people cause to think. Clearly Tubbs background is different from some of the hoy palloy you've referenced. That's ok. Maybe you grew up with hippy parents and learned to love that poetry. No problem. I grew up in a place that didn't foster that. There were brilliant kids and some truly talented with the pen. But when they were growing up and went to school there were certain teachers there that would hurt the children. Any way they could, they would do it. We tried to learn but they would just pour derision on anything we did. It brought down the guard of many of them All their weaknesses were exposed. I think it is why my friend Brian Temple ended up a stoner and died the way he did. We all tried to hide our weaknesses but the teachers were relentless. It gave us an edge and changed our taste in poetry. That's ok isn't it? In retrospect, even the teachers had their issues although it is no excuse for what they did. Still it is sad. When they went home at night there psychotic wives would often thrash them to within inches of their lives. This was known around town, but the torture chambers that were their classrooms remained covered up. Maple leaf/Oak leaf amirite? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeginnersMind Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Trump's socialism call-out was by far his best moment of his speech and the WSJ board editorial today does a great job calling out the Dems. It's behind a pay wall for some but the highlights: Quote • Medicare for All. Bernie Sanders’ plan... • The Green New Deal. This idea, endorsed by 40 House Democrats and several Democratic presidential candidates, would require that the U.S. be carbon neutral within 10 years. Non-carbon sources provide only 11% of U.S. energy today, so this would mean a complete remake of American electric power, transportation and manufacturing... • A guaranteed government job for all. To assist in this 10-year transformation of society, the Green New Deal’s authors would “provide all members of our society, across all regions and all communities, the opportunity, training and education to be a full and equal participant in the transition, including through a job guarantee program to assure a living wage job to every person who wants one.” • A new system for corporate control. Senator Elizabeth Warren wants a new federal charter for businesses with more than $1 billion in annual revenue... • Vastly higher taxes. These ideas would require much more government revenue, and Democrats are eagerly proposing ways to raise it. Mr. Sanders wants to raise the top death tax rate to 77%. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez wants a new 70% tax rate on high incomes,... 15 minutes ago, 4merper4mer said: That is really a two part thing and you're being unfair IMO.

Think of all the things you could have done with the time you spent posting all that silliness! Read a poem. Talk to your family. Plant a tree. I'm as guilty as you man. America is great. Everyone here is part of this community. I'll happily buy you a beer too brother. Edited February 7, 2019 by BeginnersMind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
