I do not believe in sharing the wealth without limits, so to speak,but yes help the less fortunate but not to the level of giving ,any and I do mean any, group or segment of individual rights that exceed their highest efforts and that exceed others rights.
I did not say results,but efforts.
We all need help sometime in our lives.

Capitalism has some major disadvantages. Above all, it creates a selfish society where people are ruled by the "ego" ("I want"). It leads to a situation where the common good (such as the environment) is placed in peril because greed and consumption know no limits. So, if the appetite for material needs and possessions overules logic, we suffer collectively.

I think capitalism has certain advantages but it creates plenty of problems as well (like the ozone layer and pollution)

I myself certainly do not have the answer,just opinion.
If the forecasters are right the Ozone Layer or Fuel will be the least of humans problems.
Some suggest that the producers of food will be overwhelmed by 2045 resulting in world wide famine brought on by over population and the diminished areas that actually produce food.
I probably won't be here to experience it, but it would be just my luck to live that long.
I'll be the old dude with an oxygen bottle strapped to my new Look Kg 20061 laying in the ditch.

When you think about it, though, capitalism enhances those frailties you mentioned. I mean, in many cases it's a system whereby each person is encouraged to do business, work hard, get rich, be a winner (or a J R Ewing in the eighties). We've become so materialistic and selfish in modern times.
Of course, I'm not knocking the idea of being prosperous, working hard and enjoying the good things in life so I agree with moderate capitalism.
I think you tend to change as you get older. You have Madonna in the eighties who was totally selfish and materialistic but now she's become more spiritual and philosophical. Then, in the sixties, people were kind of less conventional and more inclined to escape materialism (the Beatles in India e.t.c.)
Sure, I like my bike and appreciate someone has to have the incentive to produce that bike, sell the bike and make money from the bike. I guess it's a question of balance.

Lucy, you have some splainin to do.....Sorry Goober, yes, I did commit a typo…However, you misspelled “audacity” and to be honest, I lost count after 12 concerning your misspellings in this post. So, Mr. “A” average, just what kind curriculum are they teaching there in hooter Ville. My Seven year old can spell better than you . I certainly hope you are old enough to be cursing as much as you do.

By the way, I didn’t call you dumb. I implied that you had a metal plate in your head and that you were stupid but I never called you dumb. Oh, I also implied that you were mentally challenged if you thought that M.M. actually produced a “factual documentary”..

Also don’t hand me this George Bush born again mumbo jumbo bullshit line. How about Kerry appearing in every “African American” church that would let his flip flopping ass in? Funny, haven’t seen him begging to get into any “African American” Baptist churches lately…wonder what he was doing there? Isn’t he Catholic??? What was it that he was after??? Let me know if you can answer that simple riddle. That is if you get a chance to log on before recess…..Oh, one more thing…Instead of hoping you spelled something correctly, why don’t you freakin look it up. They do have dictionaries or at the very least spell check in mayberry, poduka or wherever the hell you are…But….you certainly know how to spell the “F” word…yep you’ve got one down clem.

And daviess county middle school, I beleve is the 13th in the state. And ky has a good educational system, particularly around owensboro, louisville, and lexington vs. the rural areas. And you pick on me for not useing proper english, look at pressydent george dubya you love so much! He says stupid stuff and mispronounces words all the time! As I was saying, get your news source form a source besides fox news for a change, and open up your mind a little bit, you might see that there is crookedness on both the right and left. Nothing is perfect! Or do you want to continue to waist your time trying to insult a 14 year old?
