But really abit too soft for my taste. Wish there were something harder to bite into. I think this formulation leaves out passion, and our capacity to love another human being and the overlooked fascination in truly knowing another person - their uniqueness, their passions, their view of the world, feelings, emotions, priorities, creative energy, unique abilities, their hurts and joys. The things that make us who we are are endlessly fascinating and I think that's why we reach out to each other whether we are aware of it or not.

Nobody keeps you poor in this country, at least not yet anyway. I hope some day tim giles will realize he just proved my point, envy and ignorance.

Calling the founders liberals is truly disingenuous. America was founded on the principles of the enlightenment, of freedom. Much of today’s liberalism is founded on the principle of envy and the perpetuation of ignorance. I see Beelzebud is still suckling at the teat of big government.
