It's OK. I had a pretty good opinion of liberals, until I encountered Harry, et

Harry is way beyond liberal, giving them a bad name in fact. Very
few liberals advocate over throw of the free enterprise system and
nationalization of corporations the way he does. Basically he has
some sort of personality disorder which causes him to strike out at
anything that reminds him of his tormented youth.



The "free enterprise system" is out of control and, in the last decade
especially, has been milking this country and the middle class dry. The
system has done little lately but promote the wretched excess the rich
relish at the expense of the middle and lower income classes.

I do not advocate general "nationalization" of corporations. I do
advocate much more control of corporations, especially those
corporations in the areas of energy production and delivery, health
insurance, hospitalization and transportation. I will admit to being
intrigued with the idea of public control of natural resources,
especially those resources in the field of energy. I am impressed with
what the Norwegians have done with their oil resources.

Your final comment in your personal attack (and that is what it is,
after all), is just wishful thinking on your part. I was neither
tormented nor a tormentor in my youth...or since. I simply find today's
conservatives disgusting.

I mentioned here several times my mother was a lifelong Republican and a
minor functionary in the party in our home state. If she were alive
today, she'd have nothing to do with the national GOP and its
small-mindedness, racism, and hate-mongering.
