    That's only because everyone (including you) shrank away from the discussion in defeat so early.
    All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.

    I heard a good quote one time:

    Sounds more like the sherrif to me. Robin Hood stole from the government to give back to the people.

    Some entrepreneurs pay debt to invest in resources that will more than make it up in profit, though.
