Are there any of these surveys that I could take on the net? I've never decided where I am. That's probably because I always change my opinions a lot. I think any economic system is fine as long as it's not communism. I wouldn't work any harder and produce more if the only incentive was to help my country.That doesn't bother me.

They'll be amazed that we would believe them to be snooty little bitches who have nothing better to do than to criticize people who lived 100 years ago without even considering placing their actions in a proper historical context."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency

Technology IS the answer to all things, except those that are about pure interaction between humans. ( Naturally. )Comment
