Bet this post sinks like a lead weight, but what the hell. I came across a quote by Oscar Wilde and thought of the average freeper. Anyone else have a thought????

their passions a quotation"
Oscar Wilde

[HysteryDiagnosis]

2. "An errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill"... Marlon

Brando, Apocalypse Now.

"The only truly new ideas has come up with
in the last twenty years are:
(1) supply side economics, which is a way of redistributing the wealth upward toward those who already have more than they know what to do with, and;
(2) creationism, which is a parallel idea for redistributing ignorance out from its fundamentalist strongholds to those who know more than they need to."

-Barbara Ehrenreich
