I don't recall calling anyone evil. Nor hearing OWS doing so, tho as mentioned I'm not claiming particular knowledge of that topic. What I am hearing though has to do with a level playing field, in which case the important thing is that you have money, not where you got it. "Money" in this paragraph has nothing to do with paychecks. It's one of those "if you have to ask" situations. As far as I can see anyway.
Saying something is not fair or equitable is not the same as saying it is *evil.* By the way, speaking of evil, I have to give the Westboro thing a miss. I lost the clutch in my car last night. It does look like I'll just need to get the hydraulics bled, but that won't happen before 7AM and this demonstration is not important or close enough to drive over there in a single gear ;) On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 12:49 PM, GMoney <[email protected]> wrote: > > I don't really know.
