The evil doesn't quit just because someone dies. Got to do my bit to make sure they don't canonize the little leprechaun.
BTW, when I'm dead, I don't much care what anyone does to the husk. |

Jabberwalker Jabberwalker: Is there a point to dissing someone who is well and truly dead?
How cowardly can you get? He was dissed when he was alive. So why not get in a few last licks before his sainthood? |

| Moreover, although though there is likely to be a surplus in 2015-16, it is simply impossible to predict its size with any accuracy. Another thing it will depend on is whether the Harper government wins the 2015 election. IMO, there are two sets of books: one that shows this "surplus" if ... |

| Yes, but as I recall, there were no small number of cases of military aggression initiated by one country against the other in the name of advancing world socialism, or at least extending the reach and power of a particular Marxist state. Hard to blame those incidents on rich capitalists, although ... |

| Individualists don't presume to know how the world should be run. They tend to focus more on running their own lives, and leaving the running of other people's live to those people themselves. As indicated by the lack of consensus among these "leftists"....... Individualists (excepting un... |

$1: Putting aside the fact that you can't put eight leftists in a room together without getting at least eight mutually incompatible ideas about how the world should be run...
Sounds suspiciously like the way things would be run were everyone "individualists"...... |

| So if the merchant class didn't exist, there wouldn't be wars between "prominent nations"? I can see why you want capitalism crushed if you really believe that. If you care to, check out the history of both the British Empire and the USofA in regards to their respective military. Both hav... |

| Yes Dave, we know. There's no evil in the world that can't be traced back to private enterprise, particularly Western private enterprise. Governments have never done anything bad on their own. It's quite common knowledge that the military of "prominent nations" is (as Bismarck was fond of... |
