    Not me. I intend to work for the US government and I won't stray from this goal.
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

      Don't worry. You can act like a fascist. That shouldn't be hard for you.

              Since this thread has gotten off-topic...

              No, Uber, it isn't wrong in the slightest to feel as you do. We all have to try to make sense of it all, and find the proper balance between reality and idealism.

              I'm a moderate, always looking to meld the strengths from both sides of the aisle into something stronger, but I have to take a lot of crap from the left and right (my wife and most of my friends are liberals, my Mom's a Republican, etc.) for sitting on the fence, not seeing the wisdom of their ideology, whatever. Thankfully, I love them, or else I'd have to kill them.

              My problem is that a leftist will hold up their ideals, and call them Truth (capital T), and wonder why everyone else doesn't understand that. Then a rightist will cal their ideals Truth (capital T), and wonder why the rest of the world doesn't get it. I see both ideals as truths (lower-case t), and I wonder why they don't see the truth in each other's platforms. Then I try to take the truths from both sides and forge an amalgam that takes the best from both arguments while also taking into account the realities of human nature. It's tough, and my philosophy is ever-evolving, but no other way seems correct to me.

                Fresno doesn't suk...

                The poor are kept poor by liberal democrats who need to be able to promise the weak majority something in order to get votes.

                Becoming wealthy does not mean that you have to take the money from someone else. Though that is one way to do it. This is, afterall, a free market economy.

                The kids who say they could never possibly become one are the ones that do.
                No. They are the ones who never bother to try.

                The poor get poorer because it is so much easier to take what it is given to them then to make what they are receiving.

                    C'mon Imran, tell me you've never felt that way before. That's one of the most human sentiments there is.

                      Uber,

                      Deciding that you are socialist before you have a satisfying understanding of the system, is probably not the proper thing to do, because when you will acquire progressively all elements constituting the US economy, you will be tempted to choose those which fit better with your socialist ideal. But as you are really decided to understand, you can overcome this difficulty.

                      Anyway, when you will start your research, I advise you not to focus initially on the wealth. Kidicious did that and it led him to a dead end. Wealth is highly, excessively, visible, but the real issue of equality is the income and how it is shared. On this way, you will meet difficulties when equality and freedom conflict, and most of your political stance will result from the issue of this unavoidable conflict.

                      Good luck Uber, and don’t forget that the road to evil is paved with good intent.

                      The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

                        Good point DAVOUT.

                        A lot of people separate their stand points to economic and social platforms. In the end they really get screwed because what they end up with are conflicting views.

                          ajbera: Yes, but it is funny to see it in print like that .

                            Hey when I was asked to provide information on Venezuela I did. So I didn't make any bald assertions, in fact bald assertions are foreign to my posting.

                              Fez was the only one around last night. I had to talk to him in a language that he would understand.

                                Kidicious, so you have to provide everything at very high standards of english... of course your six grade writing skills didn't really help that.
