digest number 6218

[spacer.conrad@lycos.com]

Armchair Socialists, probably in possession of a really cool motorcycle and most likely some sort of automobile, probably living it up in one of the richest countries in the world, crying alligator tears for the poor saps in third world countries while they sip chai in their coffee house of choice, The Motorcycle Diaries comfortably nestled in amongst the other DVDs. Never a thought that perhaps a few cents or a couple of dollars an hour in one of these undeveloped nations (I wonder who forgot to develop them... more likely some Tyrant who convinced the people they should live for Society...) probably holds a lot more value than the same amount here in the States. This is not a zero sum game, and capitalism isn't to blame any more than the auto in a crash. Seems the worst we get from "Capitalism" has a whole lot of government embedded, like a cancer. Get real, if you think this lifestyle is the world's problem. Show some cajones and give it up... for the good of Society. (Hitler almost succeeded... you guys are on his track, you should know.) Sorry about the grammar, and the off-topicness, but I had to get two cents in.
