See I would do the exact opposite if I were the devil. I would take from those who have little and give to those who have more. I would do this until a few lived like kings while millions struggled to survive. Then I would plunge the country into a long civil war between the wealthy few and a communist party in fertile ground.

Hit a nerve, obviously.

End up in the same place either way. How about just letting people work hard and reap what they sow; enjoying what they work for and giving freely to those who truly need it.

At your age, anything 47 years old is surely dated. Of course, you know that, I hope.

How old was Rick Santorum in 1965. Paul Harvey probably couldn't see that exactly into the future.

That would be because they can see where all Harvey's talk was aimed and they don't like being seen to be so easy to take in.

Inevitable tripe.

I was listening to Paul Harvey and disagreed with him then and my opinion has not changed. He was always a proto Limbaugh with his own agenda. He made a lot of money off his blather. He never made sense.

FWIW - I met the Devil once and he looked a lot like me. I was in a war at the time.
