Realistically, everyone who is not self-employed is a slave. (jumping in late, here)

My post is about the similarity of the people who promoted slavery and oppose universal health care.

Jody, it never hurts to touch base with reality from time to time

Touch base with reality?

Probably not

QED is an acronym for a phrase in Latin meaning something like "Thus it is proven".

Latin: "That which has been demonstrated".

Not "government" Robert. A certain vision of it.
- TB -
7/22/2013 12:24:58 AM
The problem is that it's your vision
- Robert -
7/22/2013 6:55:16 PM
Just for fun...

Apparently, you don't want to talk about what I want to talk about.
- ER -

Not only trite, but off the point, irrelevant, misleading.
- bowser -
7/21/2013 11:17:17 PM
Jody, it never hurts to remember what slavery actually IS.
- TB -
7/21/2013 7:22:03 PM
You do. McDonalds or the military. Some choice, eh?
- bowser -
7/21/2013 10:16:11 PM
Well, that wasn't trite at all.
