If Mother Teresa's mission had been based in the NY streets, it might have been worth her while to listen.

Just keep dancing with the old-line socialists. It's worked so well for the Democrats so far. Maybe next time you could actually nominate Michael Moore for something.

Or maybe you could get unstuck from the 1930s and join the rest of us in the 21st century. "Corporate interests?" "The working man?" Have any of you looked around and seen what working men and women are actually doing nowadays? Or is the stylized guy with the overalls and hat holding a shovel still stuck in your brain? I swear, the Left hasn't uncorked an original idea since Abbie Hoffman.

As for privatizing things, it's obvious that a lot of you are much more interested in making sure everyone has equal access to failure than you are about the existence of real success.

Anyway, I don't have to worry that much about "privatizing" moribund government programs. The free market will work its way around it. Check out the Post Office, if you want an example off your little list.
