    Pathetic, I know, but that's the reason for all of the bizarre tantrums and irrelevant answers to simple questions.
    I find bleeding heart liberals, communists and this new breed of rbe fans are usually well meaning with the best of intentions and try to give them the benefit of the doubt. They want equality and fairness. Even lenin and pol pot were well meaning individuals but as they say the path to hell is paved with gold.

    You still didn't answer the question put to you that my 13 yr old answered without blinking an eye... but I know why you, nor TDL for that matter, will answer that question
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Says a lot when these guys rail against the corrupt monetary system and prices yet are unable to say what would replace it. Come on guys just tell us either you dont want to say, you dont know or are still trying to figure it out. Which is it?

    Funny. I'm 45, retired at 44, and have a mortgage small enough to manage. He still works. Seems like I have absolutely everything and have lost absolutely nothing. I must be much more successful than any of you

    Like I said, my 13yr old didn't hesitate, as the answer to that question will define how I answer what you need to know.

    Well yeah. Except for the raving lunacy thing. That's probably not something anyone else would define as success.

    But if that's your thing then by all means go for it. Just wipe your chin a bit first, eh? It's sorta gross.

    Really? By definition I'm classed as a philanthropist

    Tricky to avoid when you have as few front teeth as I do. You're just gonna have to get over it, or at the very least take an extra pace backwards.

    If one group of people are prepared to pay more dollars for a better vegetable, then yes.

    I don't know if any group should receive better resources. It depends on the need of the group. People decide for themselves what they want and vote with their money. It's not for me to judge. That is a fundamental basis for believing in freedom.

    And my opinion is irrelevant. The fact is under a free market and price system those who pay the most get more. You want to remove that system. So again, what do you replace it with?
