You consider that when we blues require these things of you guys, that this is power mongering like Genghis Kahn. You put out slogans that allowing business to do all these harmful things is "liberty" and "freedom." But it's not; it's only freedom for you bosses; slavery for everyone else.

You think freedom for the bosses means freedom for everyone. You think that people should be made to be obedient workers and that the purpose of work is to provide luxury for the elites. You think this luxury will trickle-down, but it doesn't. You think government can work without taxes, but it doesn't. Your way does not work for the people, and the statistics on life and human development in the blue and red states and under Democratic and Republican administrations proves this. But you choose to ignore the facts, because you are a boss, and you want all the benefits of the economy to flow to you and your buddies.

But you are a small time boss, and what you think benefits you, does not. It only benefits the big bosses.

Eric, you'd better off sticking  with your own crowd. You'd get much further by sticking with PB and Odin and whatever emotional twit/blue dip shit  who shows up. I know government needs taxes for it  to operate and fund social programs that blues seem to value more than the reds. Do you know that I know that or are you as stupid as Bob. Before we continue down this ugly road that we are on, that most choose to ignore or not pay attention to because that's how much blues matter to most these days. I need to know if the blue that I see on TV  screaming at and talking over people  were educated about manners and respect before someone or someone group tees off on one in public and begins a trend of teeing off on them every where in public. I can't stand blues in general.  I associate them with spoiled brats. I view them as being rude and obnoxious people. I've decked friends for being rude and obnoxious. Decking a blue male would be easier than decking a friend.

I stopped decking people when I was a HS Freshman. Since then, I've only done some self defense, blocking, and, the odd wrestling / martial arts take down leading to a hold. But no decking.

I probably need to develop some skills if I ever plan to go to Minnesota or Wisconsin and grapple with the angry red voters like Classic Xer over there   As I mentioned before, some missionary work is going to be needed to redeem the Rust Belt for good sense. Better communication skills rather than insults and mere shouting will be needed, I'm sure. But maybe some martial arts skills too; considering some of the folks we might run into like Classic. There's probably no more polarized state in the country than Wisconsin.
