But they don't have to be.. and if you can look at them in a vacuum(as I suggested via computer models), you could take logical steps to eliminate wealth from the equation. Not practically, but we aren't talking in practicalities.

You’re right. That’s capitalism. That’s the trap you’re in.

You've got to be joking Skippy. Go look in the mirror regarding insults.

Sure thing Reginald.

Revisit course of events

I make a serious post about wealth and oppression

DWV replies and he and frown start discussing it

Instead of seriously engaging the conversation further I chime in with obnoxious borderline meaningless retorts

DWV insults me by calling me a “Chula”

Chula responds and hurls an insult back at DWV

Frown edits Chula’s post and says he should be grateful he’s not banned

I wrote the recap

Insults both of us. Yet, not redacted.

Pick and choose baby. Pick and choose.

Funny that there's at least 5 or more active members here with BLUE titles (mods or admins) yet Skippy seems to be the only one who has me constantly on his pick and choose radar. He's obsessed I tell ya. Obsessed.

DWV: You and Skippy can pontificate with one another all you want. Neither one of you are going to budge so it's all hot air in the end. Some folks like a circle jerk I guess.

I put up historical facts (not opinions) that re-enforce why those with lots of money oppress those with little. It may not be intentional but it's been happening for thousands of years.

I apologize if my input is not highbrow enough for your consumption.

Hey Skippy, how come you didn't pull out your redact pen when DWV straight out called me an aging alcoholic? Sounds like an insult to me.

Pick and choose.

For the record, I consider being called a “Chula” a compliment

You'd rather play it safe with Hillary or something, and that's why we ended up with Trump.

Actually, Chula's partly right. If Sanders had a Republican Congress about the only think he'd accomplish was not getting Obama's policies overturned. Look at the trouble Trump is having with the congress supposedly on his side. On the other hand, he would have the bully pulpit, and maybe that would convince voters to go more progressive in the Midterms. I certainly think we would have been better off if Sanders did end up with the nomination and defeated Trump in the election. At least things wouldn't be getting worse and we'd have a President we'd actually like as a whole (I don't think Hillary's numbers would have been all that much higher than Donald's).
