Its like if I came into your house on Harvest day, took all your weed and gave it to all the stoners who don't know how to grow good weed. Think you might feel a bit put off?
that is not at all what it is like. that is the worst analogy i have ever heard.
what i am describing is that people like muyloco don't seem to realize that the soil to grow in would be infertile if not for the work of many before him. i could not even have a harvest day if the soil is infertile because the plants wouldn't grow.
now say i leech all the amendments out of that soil in my growing, keep ALL the harvest, and give nothing back to the fund that keeps the soil rich and fertile. what do you think will happen next year when you plant? that is the vision that people like you and muyloco espouse when you claim that it is all yours, and any amount is akin to theft.
we all have a part in maintaining the greatness of this country, you do not get to take advantage of our great nation and contribute nothing back. well, check that, you CAN do that...but you would be like the asshole flying up the shoulder cutting off all the drivers who patiently merged.
no one likes that guy.
selfishness is not a virtue unless you are in that "just read ayn rand and am fucked in the head" phase.
i will gladly give back part of the harvest to make sure the soil is still there to use for next year, and i will mock with scorn and derision those who do not get the simple precept that you live in the land of opportunity thanks to others that came before you doing the same.
