Bullies don't like it when there is no teacher monitoring the schoolyard, either.

I've always been bothered by people who 'know' they're right. You don't discuss, you preach. You don't argue, you condemn. Anyone who disagrees with you obviously likes being wrong, or being stupid, or being a slave.

Of course we love being slaves to the evil corporations, but the salvation you have in mind for us lies in the wonderful, friendly, loving government? Some of us actually see the people in the government as worse monsters than your hated CEOs. Can you show me that I'm wrong about that?

Has it ever occured to you that you might be wrong? Is it possible to have a discussion, or does it have to be a shouting match? Or a put-down match?

Men that don't want to be serfs don't act like children.

You know what, even children don't need adults messing with most of their playground interactions. Asking a grown up to fix it for them means they never learn how to fix it themselves.

I read a great article by Jonah Goldberg. He said in effect that his kids had it great. They had loads of free time, everything they could possibly want, nice vacations, etc. He said he'd stop working and live their lifestyle—but he can't, because someone has to be the grown up.

On that note, I can't remember the last time Wal-Mart's "predatory elite" ever forced me to serve them. If I don't like Wal-Mart, I can go shop at Kroger, or Albertson's, or about ten thousand other retailers. I can go to work for 22 million other US companies.

The only elite that has ever preyed on me can come to my house and take away my rights and property and force me into improsonment or kill me if I don't surrender a significant portion of my wealth and my will to whatever cause they deem is best. They can send me to fight and die for them for a cause I don't believe in by giving me a draft number. They can make decisions that affect hundreds of millions, and sometimes billions of people around the globe negatively, and they are almost never held accountable for their mistakes.
