[QUOTE="Slothrop, post: 150030, member: 4707"] Wkmac, I’ll take some time to respond to your treatise. Firstly, I am a male, so ‘he’ would be the proper pronoun. You are correct in stating that I do not agree with your libertarian viewpoint, simply because it doesn’t work. If it ever worked, just once in the history of mankind, I would consider it. Call it ‘authoritarian’ if you please or just call it facing reality, which I prefer. I have always been opposed to the war in Iraq, because it was apparent to those of us who took the time to investigate, that it was based on dubious premises from the start. I was in favor of the Afghan war, though not the way it was run (and lost, BTW). I have no inherent dislike of Republicans, and no inherent admiration for Democrats. I support those who endeavor to better the citizenry of this country, and improve the conditions of the rest of the world. I am opposed to Empire by any administration, be it Clintonian or Bu****e. Empires tend to exist for the elite, and rot from within. I was, and still am, a Dean supporter. He would make a fine president, IMHO. Of course, that will never happen. Of late I have supported the Democratic viewpoint, since they seem serious about fiscal restraint and social equality. Regarding the pension debacle, I am collecting my reduced pension from Central States, and have no say in any of the workings of the Union or the Pension Fund. Retirees don’t have a vote in anything, so why cry about it. Hopefully those of you who do get a vote will use it. Oh, never mind, I guess most of you don’t really care, judging from the turnout in the last Teamster election. On a final note, both Buchanan and Nader think much more highly of their own importance than is generally shared by the rest of America. Bloviating baffoons, the both of them, IMHO.
