: Max...don't take this the wrong way, but I fell in love with you when I read your reply.....it is nice to see that although the battle grows long, the song remains the same...

: Fightin side by side....

: Kevin:

One can only imagine why Kevin feels he is fighting some sort of enormous "battle," when all he is doing here is communicating with people over the Internet. And one can only imagine what purpose Kevin sees in pointing out the role of repetition in fighting this battle, since his own "same old message" is that "there are no alternatives to capitalism," and "anyone who thinks so should have his head examined."

Also, according to the logic of capitalism, Kevin is wasting his time posting here, when he could otherwise be making money with that time, and thus he is running an opportunity cost in posting to this Debating Room. Or is Kevin being paid to contribute, and by whom?
