YOU are the one talking economics, not me. I'm just the one forced to listen to it ad nauseam. I was talking creationism when you made the tag with TAFKASE and strutted into the ring. Personally, I already know what your views on economics are and you are presumably familiar with mine, if you ever listened. We don't agree. So what? I really don't care if you do feel threatened by potential developments in Venezuela. Your south of the border concerns are not my problem. At least I don't care enough to argue with you about it. So if you're sooooo tired of explaining it to me, fine, because I don't want to hear it in the first place. I already know your litany by heart, I've been hearing it out of the cheap bleachers in right field since 1964. Can I make this any clearer?

As far as your tedious catalog of collectivist heresies is concerned, I'm proud to admit I am all in favor of about half of them, and totally opposed to the others. (Ooooh! are you suprised to learn I don't think they're all part of one fiendish master plan?) And I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of telling you which is which, either, because I am under no obligation to make you see my point of view. If you want to talk about anything else, fine. I really do enjoy talking with you, at least when you're not using your Lyndon Larouche rhetorical tactics.
