The CPUSA Should Be Proud Of Him

In the 2 years or so I've been around this board, I have never once seen tw post anything that even remotely approaches communist thought. He can be pendantic at times, but he has a remarkable sense of humor that he slyly inserts here and there on the board. He is obviously quite intelligent and uses facts and logic to back his arguments up, unlike some who post here. He does have a pet peeve against MBA's, but we all have our little quirks, and in many instances, I feel he is correct in his observations even there, as well.

I could post some derogatory thing about what I imagine YOU to be like in real life, UG, but I'm not going to sink to your level. I will say that I think you're just jealous because tw is the Dweller that the most people here voted they'd like to meet. I notice that YOU didn't get a single mention.

If you wish to start a discussion on Allende and Chile, I'd be most happy to give my opinions. I studied Latin American history in college and have quite a few thoughts on the subject. However, I won't dignify this thread with any further reply than what I've already given

I'm sure UG will be glad to post some quotes, in context, from TW that prove his point. Right, UG?

You starry-eyed dreamer, you! There are better odds that Jr. will apologize to the American people, as well as the rest of the people of the world, step down from office, and give all his shares in Halliburten to the poor!

Let's see if I understand the implications here: you're advising me to seek popularity among people whose opinion I have never been given cause to respect, who oppose the neocon view because at bottom they'd rather leave the evil and corruption of totalitarian governance to thrive unmolested when democracy is visibly so much better, so much wealthier, and so much more humane than totalitarianism? These are the kind of people I don't want for friends. That's your idea of a telling argument?? My oh my, does that redefine fatuity. Not much cause for jealousy here. Really, Mari, in the couple of years I've been here, I've seen you have ONE good idea among a slew of bad ones: supporting the soldiers' charity.

Since you've made further replies, you may wish to retract or redact this sentence.

Meanwhile, I suppose I might as well bone up a little on South American history. It's a subject rather neglected in American high schools, along with international relations generally. "History & Moral Philosophy," anyone?

What a thoughtful suggestion, UG! As a matter of fact I do retract that one sentence.

I was in the midst of a truly brilliant, scathing response to you earlier, when my puppy, Belle Starr, chewed thru my monitor cord (I thought she was happily chewing on a pig's ear I had just given her). My monitor went blank and I had heard Starr's yelp from the shock (surprised she didn't end up one dead pup), and my devastating words vanished all at the same time.

Now that I have gone down and bought a new cord, I will reconstruct my earlier post as best I can and get back to you shortly (You don't need to wait on the edge of your chair, that's OK). :p
