now children, sharing is for communists
I was going through the News Sophisticate blog and I ran across this post with some very funny Pat Robertson quotes. That of course led me to a video about Pat Robertson calling an assassination attempt. What I wonder is whether or not people still really believe that communism is a threat? I mean, if the 700 Club is on the air somebody is supporting it right?
Has Mr. Robertson even read Marx? Apparently not.. But even Jesus philosophy likens communism. Here's an idea for all of you though. Everyone wake up tomorrow.. and forget about the money. Forget about it. Do what you do otherwise. If you work go to work. If it's your day off, relax. If you're unemployed, go find somebody to help. If you need groceries go get them. If you want a plasma TV, why not? They're overproduced anyway. We complain about war, poverty, racism, consumerism, religious freedom, crime, etc.. but nobody fights for that because they're too busy fighting for a buck. We focus on all the issues that money creates!
I don't want to label it communism.. but humanism. Take care of your fellow man!
The primary motivation of our lives is money. It's what makes a man work overtime instead of being at his kids ball game. It's why our cars get robbed at night. It's why we're addicted to drive thru's and department stores. It's why we have homeless.. class systems.. and struggle in general. If you've made it you believe everyone can. And if you struggle you're blind.. the All American Dream.. to struggle and make it.. or at least waste a life trying.
Those that have a lot of money spend it on stuff and things. They own car collections and large houses. They command armies of employees. They live in the suburbs and drive hummers for miles to the office in the city.
The poor pay rent in the city and ride the public bus system to the suburbs to feed middle class soccer moms and their children fast food.

well...your in good company historically...(although we don't live concurrent lives since the renaissance)...but the character of renaissances of all times have been a degree of "secular humanism"...I agree this is not communism...but technically, in some sense, communism has it's pundits in Beijing, India, Kurdistan's manifestation in the PLL...the resurgence of left leaning governments in Latin America...of Course Cuba, the socialism of Venezuela, and of course the fatherland in Russia...Communism maynot be a threat, but it is popular. Ha...take that you philistine...
