Dana, you slipped: look up posterity.

yes you are right, I typed the wrong word. I meant posterity and don't need to 'look it up'.

Also familiarize yourself with the pogroms and genocides and scarcities uniformly perpetrated by the communist regimes: the century-long record shows the anti-communist is the pro human. Spend your energies on being pro human instead of railing at me, and you will spend your energies in a more intelligent manner than you've hitherto shown. In other words, quit being such a slacker. There is not and never was anything wrong with trying to get rich, either -- yet you seem to think there is. Shame. Shame. Thrice shame.

I am quite familiar with the 'pogroms, genocides and scarcities' perpetuated by many communist regimes. I am also quite aware of the 'pogroms, genocides and scarcities' committed by many non-communist regimes. (Or do you not consider the Native American cultures to have been subjected to crimes of this nature? ) I do not percieve you to be pro-human. I see you as pro-your own agenda. I however, am pro-human: all humans, regardless of ethnicity, culture or religion are deserving of consideration; all nations have within them positive and negative elements; all political systems have inherent flaws and strengths and self-determination is better than externally imposed political or social values.

In other words, quit being such a slacker. There is not and never was anything wrong with trying to get rich, either -- yet you seem to think there is. Shame. Shame. Thrice shame.

Don't be so lazy in your reading/thinking. I have never held, nor ever will, hold the view that there is something wrong with trying to get rich. I have never said, nor will I ever say, that there is something wrong with getting rich. You have made an assumption based on a flawed reading/understanding of my posts. Shame. Shame. Thrice shame.
