Re: I wouldn't be saying
As I said in another post: "The problem seems to be that so many people can't wrap their brains around anything other than a monolithic, centrally-controlled solution."
I was discussing giving people more private options for retirement. The response?
Some people can't handle their own affairs THEREFORE every American needs to be a ward of the Federal government.
I disagreed. THEREFORE I am some monster who would pass by a dying man on a road. Or probably wait for him to die so I can stoop over him like a raven and eat his eyeballs.
I am very, very tired of having to help maintain a pretense that these kind of responses are not stupid.
