Therefore socialists advocate the creation of a society in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly based on the amount of work expended in production, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how and to what extent this could be achieved.
You're plagiarizing Wikipedia? Seriously?

We can debate or argue this until we're blue in the face. The bottom line is I don't like the man I and don't like what he is doing to this country. It was all right for all the Bush haters to spew their venom for eight years about him. I'm just saying how I feel and you can agree or disagree, it doesn't matter to me. I'm not attacking you personally, because I don't know you. You liking Obama doesn't make you a bad person in my eyes and my disliking him, shouldn't make me a bad person either. It's the old case of let's agree to disagree.

Now don't you get involved in this. I'm already into with The Commish and various people on Facebook. If you have nothing relevant to add to the debate, don't say anything. He said I didn't know what socialism was and I wrote what it was.

But you didn't write what it was. You copy-pasted something from an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, which clearly demonstrates zero understanding of socialism on your part. You couldn't even write "what it was" in your own words. So before you pretend to chastize me for not adding something relevant, how about first adding something yourself, mmkay? Perhaps you should take your own advice...

I do know what socialism is. For you or the Commish to question me is wrong. I did it as a general definition so everyone could understand it. I know it because I believe Obama is heading us in that direction. You always love to bust me for not adding anything relevant to discussions, when you yourself do not. You always point out what I did or didn't do and you're really no better. I may not agree with the Commish, but at least we debate things without it turning into attacks.

The problem with this is what, exactly? In your own words, please.

Off the off-topic off-topic topic, anyone else think it's uncanny how much that one newscaster on WNEP (Mindy something I think) looks like Pam from the Office?

I think since we the taxpayers now have a stake in the company that we should be getting dividend checks, since we are in essence, stockholders. Let us reap some of the benefits of owning a company.
