  1. There have been good arguments on both sides of this, and I’ve decided to stay out of it, because I don’t have time to sit here today, but honestly, Benson, you once again, go where no one has gone.

    “You know someone can no longer logically debate an issue when they start questioning your personal genorosity or patriotism.”

    No one said that, no one implied that about either you or Kens, and a logical debate was happening until you had to make a personal statement of affront over your patriotism.

  2. AAh, benson, reading comprehension 101 is needed. I implied that being “patriotic” might, just might, include trying to keep jobs here and/or preferring American-made goods. If you or others took that at a criticsim against their patriotism, just remember “[it’s] the last refuge of scoundrels.”

    And *that* was meant to be funny.

  3. dh, I don’t think anyone is saying that poverty doesn’t exist in America. Nor has everyone had a fair shot at getting a piece of the pie.

    But what is true is that people from “everywhere” “all socioeconomic levels” and the most utter levels of poverty HAVE gotten the pie, and large pieces of it too. They applied themselves and worked their way up to the pie.
