Of course yer right. That was too much Crown plus some other attendant factors, including yet another date with the so-called "greatest health care system in the world" that I have extensive experience with--and it ain't that great at all.

 I apologize bro--but I am getting a haircut tomorrow...

My points remain true--the balance of wealth is too skewed towards the few to sustain our (by that I mean 'the American Dream') way of life. And the "haves" just want more. Everybody wants more. Will the 1% or whatever you deem them ride the horse til it dies underneath them thereby dooming themselves? I am not against talented people reaping the benefits of their labors--but when they rig the system in their favor it takes the power of the people to rein the beast in for the good of all. I don't think that is communism, socialism or class warfare--and if it is, maybe we ned a little of that.

This whole corrupted idea of American individualism here at home, and the worship of capitalism where it is practiced, is not healthy. Unchecked survival of the fittest economically is not a good thing for the whole of humanity. That is a core belief of mine. If others choose to think that dog eat dog is the best that the human race is capable of--then I will be glad to slide on out of here leaving the misdirected sycophants of Adam Smith to gnaw on the rancid bones tossed down by those who oppress them.
