Its the very same mistake being made over and over again: "I know that everyone else has failed in their endeavor to make the world a "fair" place, and to give everyone an "equal" outcome ... but that's because I/We weren't in charge. We'll do it right this time!" And then come the Gulags and the thugs who run them.

Wow, med, how convenient to blame all of your self- described failures on guys like Vi.....it makes things so much simpler……..
You need a good recipe for mega strength canna cookies, my man!

Were we talking about my failures or the failures of the society to come to a place where all people get an even shake. I'll admit to my failures but the failures of an even handed society falls more on the wealthy than on me. I don't know you so I really can't judge you as a person, but it seems to me that you have no concerns but for yourself. Correct me if I've read you wrong! I don't see the importance of being stoned, does it make you a better person. I was stoned for 30+ years and pretty much am the same old me. BTW can you make good cookies out of shake, I've got some of that I'd like to try with!

Go into the Med forum and look up the cannabutter thread.

The failures I was alluding to are the failures of complete societies that adopted your politics of wealth redistribution.

Its quite interesting review history and learn from it. For those who do not, they have no concept of where we have been. Without the concept of where we (human kind) have been, there is no way to guage where we are now, or where we will be in the future. Learn from history, Med. Find out where your political views have led mankind in the past. Those "leaders" and politicians who have your mindset politically are leading us down the road to serfdom. Believe it.

Well, I keep abreast of recent history (100 years or so) and I haven't seen anyone try my method yet. The methods you refer to were dominated by Dictators and assholes, Maybe if a level headed liberal came to power, My vision could be enacted, Your worst nightmare!

Assuming that there ARE some level headed liberals ... please spell out exactly what your vision is, AND HOW YOU WOULD BRING THOSE VISIONS TO FRUITITION, then we'll go from there.

OK, Med ... so I can assume then that everytime you make a statement that can be disproven with facts, that you will just go hide your head in the sand (like most Americans) and just keep yer mind shut tight?
