<DIV>Chas,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You are just full of self contradictions aren't you? You say you are pro-people, but support the continued taking of their homes, and denial of medical care.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You say you agree that Bush and oil companies are unfairly stealing from future citizens 100s of billions of dollars, if not a trillion, yet you don't think we should take action to return some of those resources back to the most injured.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You say you are for socialism, yet you are against one of the core principles of giving control of the resources to the people. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>"You make this claim, but has it ever been tested, in the modern era?<BR>I think its time we try the experiment."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Where have you been since the 1970s? Your suggestion that we experiment with the lives and welfare of people is irresponsible. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The United States does have poor citizens. We may have rich citizens, but most people are struggling to pay for their house, get a basic education, and afford the medical care.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think you are just messing with me. No rational person would be suggesting the belief system you are suggesting that we play with the economy, and allow people to lose their homes, and be denied medical care. That is too cold of a position for anyone to take. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best Regards,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><B><I>Chasuk <chasuk@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">On Sun, Mar 2, 2008 at 1:10 AM, Donovan Arnold<BR><DONOVANJARNOLD2005@YAHOO.COM>wrote:<BR><BR>> Some people are very dependent upon the price of energy
