Why Can't We Be Nice To One Another
We all want the same thing; a just and humane world. We might differ on how to get there but this internecine trench warfare isn't getting us any closer.

"What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love, and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country..."

-Robert Francis Kennedy

If they did we would have that.

4. While it is unpleasant to contemplate, there are DUers who are every bit as obnoxious, every bit ...
as gaping an asshole, as the most rabid freeper. The right may have more of them, but they haven't cornered the market on shitheads.

7. Because some have intellect & talents that allow them to profit more from an hour's work than others
That presents a problem of who should benefit from the fruits of such labor.
