"Why are you printing that drivel in Rant & Rall? The guy's a flaming Communist idiot. You're selling the lie that we've been living in something that resembles a free-market economy.
I expect that nonsense from sources like MSNBC and FOX news. That lie is why their advertisers pay them. But, come on, you're a small business. I really expect at least *some* business acumen from you.
Maybe I give you too much credit.
Here's the truth of the matter: Communism [while nice in theory] does not work in any sizable group. We've been practicing it since about 1933, and it's driven our country to its knees.
The people who proclaim "We need more government control!" are perfect exhibits of that famous [and dubious] definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.
This country was founded on the idea that personal property, and the right to the fruits of your labor, are important. I know it's quaint, but some really smart people thought it had merit, once upon a time.
Rall's `Rants` would make sense in Seattle's "The Stranger." They really don't belong in the UT. Tulsans still (mostly) have a vague degree of common sense, self-reliance, and independence.
I'm really not one of those nut-cases who think I could pull off being an island...especially in the middle of a city. I know I'm totally reliant on the good-will of my neighbors and the trucking companies who bring in my TV dinners.
I have a lot more faith that they'll keep supplying me if I give them what they want (i.e. being a good neighbor and paying them) than if I have to rely on some Central Planning Committee to take care of details like that for me.
I'd have addressed this as a response to Rall's column, but you seem to have [wisely?] kept his gibberish off-line."
