sorry.
You choose to ignore the substance of posts that contains question, comment, argument or information that does not support your point of view, while making sport of commenting on the poster. You should be sorry for that. I make sport of targeting you because of your arrogance to posters who either challenge you or make a comment not consistent with your ideology. Whenever you want to elevate the discourse, it will be done. Yes, I already know that I am kinda petty, like that - but at least I know it when I am doing it.

I worship at the alter of capitalism, so to speak. I put capitalism above any form of government. In my mind capitalism is more than just a concept.

It is my nature.

I can ask you - why do you think in straight lines and right angles? Your thought processes are linear - similar to many others who post here.

Capitalism will be a part of the picture. However, capitalism in itself is not a panacea for social ills.
I disagree.

A - support the revolution for free market capitalism even though the revolution was about basic human rights and not free market capitalism. (BTW, free market capitalism does not exist anywhere in the world.)

or

B - support the trade of one form of tyrannical rule for another

How about neither of the above?

Well stated.
What is a more basic human right than being able to profit ( gain benefit) from one's labor, intellect and property?

If you ever answer any question, please think about and answer this one. Perhaps, if you do answer, we can understand each other for once.
