loquitur, at every turn, you and I have disagreed about whether the condition in the US of 70 percent of the entire private wealth in the country in control of just the top ten percent wealthiest is symptomatic of a grave problem that can only be mitigated by political power directed by the majority of "have less" and "have nots".

To you, everything related to wealth inequity seems to be a "coincidence", either not to even be recognized as symptomatic of a grave problem, or if it turns out to be a problem, not to be forced in a more equitable direction by mass political will.

Do I have all that right? Is that your position? Isn't the reaction to Spitzer, posted over on the other thread, compared to the non-reaction, by the very same posters, to everything I've posted on this thread, anything to prompt my WTF, "call"? Where are our priorities and our attention, on the "potty"?

I do have a great "fart joke" to tell....would a PM be the way to deliver it, or should I just post it?

I'm sorry to permit my disgust on so many levels to manifest itself in this post, but you and I are certainly far apart, aren't we....and I do think you are the most reasonable of the posters I regularly mostly disagree with....
