29. I Hope You Are Right
And I'm still alive to see it!

Because what I believe in is a system that places human need over human greed...that values people over corporations...a system that cares not about numbers...but cares about hearts, about people...about LIFE!!!

What I believe in is a baseline of minimum survival needs that should be provided for everyone...and then, if you are able thru hard work, skill, merit, whatever...to rise above that, then more power to you!

The sky's the limit...make as much money as you want...BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHER PEOPLE'S VERY SURVIVAL!!

Capitalism, by it's very nature, is a cruel, cold, hard, and heartless system. It, by necessity creates deprivations in one area, and excesses in others. In a capitalistic system, what would happen if you gave everyone a million dollars? simple. As the ability of the people to pay increased, so would the price of goods and services...and you'd wind up with the same deprivations we currently have!

Capitalism, by it's nature, is the most amoral economic system ever devised by the mind of man. And I think it very ironic that the biggest proponents of this Godless system, are the ones who so avidly wear "Christian" on their sleeve!

And these damn Christians can STAY THE HELL OUTTA MY BEDROOM, while they are at it!! Their morals and laws are not welcome in MY bedroom...and it shall remain so until THEY are paying the bills! As long as I am paying them, thn my home is my castle, and they need to keep their nose OUT!
