Thanks my friend. As a matter of fact it was my brother sending me a hard copy of Spooner's "No Treason" that put me on my present path of thinking that has evolved to my entire position today. He and Howard Freeman (The UCC Connection). I refined my position with the help of a gentleman in North Carolina and a friend locally that is a high powered CPA.

That link is on my favorites list and has been for years. It is good that you are exploring it, Lysander makes more sense than anyone you've ever read.

No, I didn't think you'd given up, there is this thing I firmly believe in and that is that no one can "unlearnt" a thing. Once spurred to think and see things that one has never been exposed to before one can never go back to the old positions.

Here is a link back atcha that I think you'll find interesting. My question to you would be to answer, after viewing, which of the two is the fool.

"In the meantime you poison the environment for the people who want progress."

Man, I can't believe I didn't address this but I did miss it, so here is my reply:

This is like saying I am creating a hostile environment by sassing the thug in the alley who is robbing me of my weeks wages.

Socialism is founded on, based on, has a foundation that theft is perfectly natural and good if two people vote to take from even one other. Theft, Pietro, and you want to keep the conversations with the theives nice nice and not tell it like it is?

Anytime, anywhere, you let a socialist proseltyze his scriptures even to known believers of the socialist church, you are doing a cruel disservice to your fellow man. That evil religion must be confronted and defeated in words, deeds, and in no uncertain terms every single time it presents itself.

Politics is not the problem, Pietro, ignorance and stupidity are the problem because they allow evil people to use politics to dominate and rape the ignorant and stupid. In short government is the problem because even ours has succumbed to the ignorance and stupidity of the people.

Intelligent and informed people produce intelligent politics and we can all live with that.
