[quote user="Poppa_Zit"]<p><font face="Georgia">Most of the time, AG, you make some sense. This is not one of those times</font>.</p> <p><font face="Georgia">I thought you could do better than playing the hackneyed hole card of going political and blaming the current administration for all that irks you. How does your claim of us attacking other nations to make them safe even remotely relate to this discussion? We went into Iraq to make ourselves safer at home. Maybe we should attack the DME, then go in and rebuild its infrastructure?</font></p> <p><font face="Georgia">You have adapted a new style -- parrying all thrusts by failing to answer sound rebuttals, choosing instead to answer with fresh rounds of attacks on minutiae.</font></p> <p><font face="Georgia">Oh, woe is us as a species! Jeez, you're letting your sarcasm create a steaming pile of doom for you to sit in. How can one person be so disconsolate? Do you ever allow yourself to have fun?[:D] </font></p>[/quote]<br> <br> Who says I'm not having fun? I seriously doubt that you are competent to make that decision on my behalf, Do I try to tell you how you feel?<br> <br> The lampoon I abstractly reference comes from the fact that the system makes up what ever story it wants, and the clapping seals in this country accept it blindly. (in the name of patriotism, in the name of belonging, whatever)<br> <br> <br> So, if after years and years of allowing oil companies to consolidate to the point there is next to no real market competition, and the recent gas debacle sends record profits to the oil companies and the only meaningful feedback we get from the leaders of this country is that it's our fault for being addicted to oil <br> <br> Whats to say that any protest lodged against UP or BNSF colluding in a rate war against the small fry DME won't be dismissed similarly, given the current administration's penchant for giving big business a "get out of jail free" card?<br> <br> It was you who said there would be some form of repercussion if the BIG two orchestrated a rate war againstthe smaller upstart, and what im really saying is "HARUMPH! that's not the way the ball has been spinning, lately" The deep pockets seem to be getting favored rather heavily.<br> <br> (and btw, the smokescreen code name for the iraqi invasion was "Operation Iraqi Freedom" was it not? So the pretense that we were invading them for their own good wasaccurate as i claimed, irrespective of how you might try to pretend otherwise...the ruse of delivering freedom to the Iraqi's was the perfect "treat" to entice the seals ) It was a pendantic illustration of how the truth seldom matters anymore, when the gov't has an agenda it needs to sell. <br> <br> PS , "sound rebuttals" ? You flatter yourself well and in excess. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
