    basicly he skewed a things to fix his own views. i could easily paraphrase anything he says as "i don't mind because i'm a right wing nut case with a knife to grind." but it's not correct or even polite. that is what i am complaining about.

    We encompass various continents. We could use an Antartican, though.

    Obviously, since it was at least semi-coherent.

    In one of the threads, it was mentioned "what would happen under a pure lasseiz-faire system?" You said(paraphrasing): "it's been documented - in Britain it was the height of typhoid, child labor, *insert random acts of evil here*"

    I'm sure you wouldn't want me to ask someone to dig out the exact quote to make you look even more foolish.

    EDIT: Basically, you made wild claims without any modicum of evidence. You did not explain how capitalism could cause the spread of disease or an increase in child labor or any other sort of evil, or even that it did.

    It's hard to keep reminding you that Rasitlin is not really "right wing".

    Raistlin's more of a libertarian.

    Pretty much. More specifically, I'm an economic conservative, and a social liberal. Take half of what each side spouts, and combine them, and you have a consistent political philosophy.

    I'm sure you boys can have just as much fun tooting your own horns in pms. I know that is a lie, but do it anyway.
