[Platt]
Have you read "Economic Facts and Fallicies" by Thomas Sowell. Want me to
name some other books you probalby haven't read in order to "protect your
prejudices?" Your argument is totally specious.
[Krimel]
Does Sowell's book reflect somehow on Pirsig's writing?. I haven't read
Northrop either but I own a copy and I am not claiming some virtue in
remaining ignorant of what he says or how it influenced Pirsig. For all I
know Northrop supports your distorted fascist views.
[Platt]
And if you are a SOM leftist you pretend to care about all the "victims" of
the mean, selfish capitalists so you can pose as their savior and vote
for laws that make them dependent on government in order to gain power for
yourself.
[Krimel]
Right, Mother Theresa and Albert Schweitzer cleverly made victims of the
poor in India and Africa to gain power for themselves.
[Platt]
What positions did they hold in government?
[Krimel]
Well Mother Theresa was an agent of the Vatican but the point is you do not
think that government should represent the Values of its people? Compassion
has no place in politics?
[Krimel]
The Marshall plan was a plot to make Europeans our minions.
[Platt]
It was done to create a market for our goods and services.
{Krimel]
As I said, to make them our minions.
[Krimel]
The Head Start is a conspiracy to make
poor children slaves to learning.
[Platt]
Head start is a waste of taxpayer money in terms of intellectual
development. But, it's wonderful for instilling left-wing propaganda.
[Krimel]
Head Start has been widely documented as one of the most successful programs
ever. Somehow you think reading, writing and arithmetic are left wing
propaganda? That really goes a long way toward explaining your aversion to
smart people and academics. Your views do not survive long in the bright
light of education. The Taliban are suppressing schools in Pakistan right
now to achieve the ends you so devotedly wish. I am beginning to see the
connection between your distortions and fundamentalist Islam. I have noted
for a long time that it has no connection whatever to Christian or American
values.
A'salam wa lacum, my brother.
[Krimel]
Food stamps are a plot to make children addicted to food.
[Platt]
Food stamps are another method of creating dependency on
government, creating a voting block.
[Krimel]
Reducing malnutrition in the world's richest country is just a means of
creating a voting block? Since voters seem to have finally woken up and
reject the sick policies of Raygunonmics I guess starving them and kepping
them ignorant is the only way you and your evil ilk will ever get back into
power.
[Krimel]
Is everything in your world upside down and backwards?
No, Is yours?
[Platt]
Do you ever question the morality of socialism? Why is it moral to seek
power over others who mind their own business and never initiate physical
force on anyone?
[Krimel]
Socialist morality is exactly what Pirsig applauds. Are you saying that you
disagree with Pirsig?
[Platt]
Do you ever question the morality of socialism? Why is it moral to seek
power over others who mind their own business and never initiate physical
force on anyone?
[Krimel]
Isn't this what capitalists do as well?
[Platt]
Not at the point of a gun. There's a huge difference economic and political
power.
[Krimel]
Oh this is news. So if I decide not to make payments on my house and car
anymore I can expect nothing more than a flurry of threatening junk mail
from my creditors?
Economic power depends absolutely on political power.
The real problem in our country is that economic power has come to dominate
political power. Surely you realize that all of the propaganda you spout
here is nothing more that homage to the wealthy. You are nothing more than
a pawn of the rich and powerful, claiming some virtue in keeping the poor in
their place.
[Krimel]
Stuff like a 35 hour work week, six weeks vacation, health care, maternity
leave, and child care really make my blood boil too. All that time spent
sucking up to family members would be a whole lot more productive making
widgets and filling out paper work. Makes you wonder just what sort of
values those deluded Europeans have.
[Platt]
No, sutff like millions of human beings slaughtered under communism and
national socialism (Nazi)
[Krimel]
Your ignorance of political theory is always a wonder to behold. Equating
time off and health care to genocide is something that only could hatch in
the small confines of your skull. How does it feel being an unwitting puppet
of the Man?
[Krimel]
Do you think Americans really value their free time because they have so
little of it compared to their socialist adversaries. After all isn't
scarcity what creates value in the first place. If we could just free
ourselves of those communist child labor laws we could meld hearth and
furnace.
[Platt]
Mentioning "furnace" in the same paragraph with socialist should make you
pause and think for a change.
[Krimel]
Do tell?
I guess this has something to do with some imagined connection to National
Socialism but surely you are not so simple minded as to claim that Nazis
were followers of Marx...
Oh yeah, well as always I could be wrong.
