You are not paying attention. the same people that think the playing field should be stalked think that might makes right.

It's part of the red state problem.

I rather enjoy being an elitist...something a simple commoner such as yourself is undoubtedly unable to comprehend.

You see, my sins have been absolved, and I can no longer do any wrong. However, being lord and master does carry a burden.

It now falls to me to instruct the less fortunate on not only how to think, but as to what to think, and how to conduct themselves as well.

And due to my benevolent nature, I shall go lightly with the lash...provided no miscreant insists on sterner measures.

However, I do have a problem that perhaps you could assist me with. Being the "Nuvo Elite", I've yet to devise a plan by which you can fund your own servitude.

Or perhaps I should just inquire at the club...once they unlock the door.

Sir Chas

The only time might makes right is when you take away the tools that make us equal- weapons of self defense.
...or if you corrupt and or dismiss the legal system and basic rights.

"Nuvo Elite" I'd like to be a part of that. Can you get me in on the buddy system?

No might never makes right, it just makes one mighty. You must be right first. And there is nothing more destructive than a mighty idiot with throngs of die hard, unquestioning followers. Bush II proved that.

No need to. Someone is already working on a damn fine plan. It's called a nation with no safety net. See, under that most Christ-like, family friendly plan, if you stop working, even through no fault of your own, you'll begin to starve immediately. So, you'd better keep your sorry ass moving all the way to your last breath.

Feel the tug of that leash?

You will.

Dave
