I appreciate capitalism I just appreciate other economic systems more. Still, I'm not tied down to any one setup in a partisan manner. ;) I'll listen to any reasonable proposition and at least consider its merits.

Which is an interesting problem in itself. As many individuals past and present have made some seriously messed up stuff sound reasonable.

Just because someone can give merits to something, and shroud it in reason, doesnt mean you should listen to it.

Some peoples whole business is about that.

I suppose Obamas last speech on why its a good idea to go to Syria would qualify.

Or, if you prefer a Star Wars reference, Palpatine.

Everybody seemed to think the first galatic empire was a fantastic idea.
