Reply #69: You should only be on the receiving end of this nonsense. [View All]

People here, who should have known better, kept saying "A house is a good investment!" and "You really need to marry a good woman and have her work for you - two incomes are better than one" and other nonsense.

No matter how progressive or liberal such people may think they are, they are still materialistic. Bitching about Republicans driving gas-wasting SUV's? You buy cappucino and lattes and other pretentous coffee, which doesn't do anything more or taste any better than the cup o' mud served at your local greasy spoon. It's all materialism, and such people deserve a smackdown. Whether it's a "nice house" or Hilfinger shirts.

And like it or not, when the economy fails, we will ALL become each other's enemies. We will be scrabbling for scraps. I'm sure you'd kill me if you thought I had food to feed your family, and there was no other way to get it. And I'm determined not to die, even if it means your family must.
It's Republican "free market" philosophy brought down to a very real level, and if you didn't like it, you should have done something about it when America was still a free country - like run somebody who actually wanted to win the Presidency, not those wishy-washy "nice" candidates Gore and Kerry.
