How did I come by it? Life experience.

For the purpose of probing your own ideas for weakness. That is why I like to argue about stuff. I see it as the process by which I test my ideas for weak parts so that my ideas can evolve and get better.Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View PostComment

I'm not like that. I see no reason to defend my opinion unless I get paid to do it."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

How about the promise of an eternity of service in the afterlife? If you share your thoughts, I swear to offer you my eternal servitude after death. You can trust that God will enforce the contract.Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View PostComment

There are people like DDD, SU and myself, who come here day after day and give it up for free, for the benefit of the tribe, while free loaders like yourself will only do it for cash. You are engaged in a type of priestcraft!Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View PostComment

It's the symbolism of these moves that bug me. If I'm middle class (really, these are the people who stand to benefit--the truly indigent already have socialized medicine), I'm looking at a guy that's offering me a bunch of goodies and offering to pay me to take them. It's as if they're completely free and we were just waiting for the right guy to produce them out of thin air. It sends a bad message and sets a bad precedent of pandering.
Contrast this with "We'd like to finally take care of the healthcare needs of everyone. It's going to be expensive, but as a country we think it's worth it. Therefore, everyone is going to have to pitch in to help pay for it, some more than others, each according to their ability, but we're all going to feel the cost."At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah
