Oh real..."..A new dimension of thought"? Oh really? 'Fraid not, miss Laura. You're drinking the same Kool-Aid as all those you've ranted about in your blogs. I'd like to think you've posted what you have in a tongue-in-cheek fashion...as a sort of come-through-the-back-door way of making people really think for themselves. But I don't (think that). Acquire some critical thinking skill and lose your illusions. Capitalism is perhaps a great concept - so is socialism - in a perfect world. But humans by definition aren't perfect. Capitalism doesn't work - nor does government regulation, nor socialism - precisely BECAUSE people act unethically and irrationally AND almost always in their own interests. The only political "vote" that truly counts is MONEY...or maybe POWER; but aren't those two essentially interchangeable terms? And "... Everyone would be accepted for who they are..."? Everything idea in your blogs is based on YOUR VERY OWN lack of acceptance of something(s) or someone (plural). Just like Arianna, you find it easy to criticize so much that goes on in the world (she makes a handsome living doing so). But in my thinking, one doesn't get kudos for criticizing an already flawed concept or position because of their own unrealistic expectations; that's like wanting praise for calling a defective part "defective". As a fellow nurse and a woman looking for true intellectual challenge from other bright women, I gotta call you out on your lack of true insights. I'll bet you can do better than what I've read today!Nancy C.noreply@blogger.com
