Best quote I've read today!

[Memnar]

Here's a quote for you - I just wrote it...

People complain about the 're-distribution of wealth' but how is that different from the big corporations, pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, utility companies and even wal-mart when they take hard working people's money and give it to their overpaid employees and administrators or use it to lobby congress to pass more laws that make the crimes they commit legal???

Like money, government and taxes aren't evil, it's when corrupt men get ahold of them that they ad the evil

Sorry but I don't agree with this..but I understand what your attempting to say

I've got a non-negotiable position on politics....if you can't clearly state the pros and cons of the policies of *both* sides of an issue, you're a tool.

You're a tool of one party or the other, just repeating the "message" they've paid professionals to write so they can turn as many people as possible into *their* tools.  Because one tool begets another tool. 

Go out and ask a liberal to give you the pros and cons of a conservative opinion.  You're lucky if you can find 1 in 10 who can.  Do the same with a conservative.  Same result.

When it comes to politics, we're a nation of tools.  Most of our political "discussions" are simply repetitions of the same old "messages" that one political party or the other wrote for us.  Reminds me of a Pee-Week Herman skit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOGWbzUM-y8.
