If you're saying they got it through fraud, then why don't you take them to the courts?

Many powerful people got there because they influenced people through manipulation, and the influenced people fell for it.

You might very well be right, but what I really want to know is whether, when you selected your screen name, you meant to call yourself "Insurrection" and got it wrong, or if not, what exactly you meant by "Inserection", which as far as I can tell isn't a word.

I ask only because, on principle, I make a point of not taking seriously the ideas of anyone who can't spell their own name, on the grounds that anyone who can't is probably an imbecile, so I wanted to check with you before I spent any significant time reading anything you write.

it is immoral and cruel but it was not compassionate selflesness which allowed the human race to survive and thrive this past few thousand years , its not pretty but darwinism is a cold hard fact and capitalism ( not the crony kind ) is economic darwinism

the strong survive and reproduce , the only hardline capitalists i have any real issue with are those who try and suggest that god is in favour of capitalism , those charlatans are insufferable

With your architect statement..... well, you, as a Republican should know, cause you guys say these kinds of things "well, he should just work harder and pull up his bootstraps"

Thats right, isn't it? That is what the Neocons love saying about the poor..... so, you are contradicting yourself

Obviously, you have no idea what a true COMMUNITY is...... which is what I am talking about, rathe than a society that brainwashes people and exploits them and tells them "every man for themselves"

Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya.

In every society, every family, every community there will always be the lazy people of the group that the rest of us are forced to cary their weight.

I just checked - a ticket to North Korea via Beijing isn't that pricey. Start saving.
