: : 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."

The battle is over the widespread ignorance distributed over this medium. Just because you have an opinion that is based on emotion and rallied around by others who are misfortunates of the system indicates any real value as far as I am concerned....You have your method, I have mine.....

: 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?

Sounds like good old sammy is looking for another reason not to listen....the petty sarcasm and generic understanding of capitalism has finally caused some of that good old ugliness come out....Hey sam, the reason I am not working so hard is because I have taken a break from paying taxes to people like you who can sit at home in your bathrobe and collect a check....
