"But jerks like you never looked back, Mick. Because you got yours, didn't you?"

Hey Guest, we hate to surprise you but "getting yours" is what it IS all about.   The issue is that many people have been shut out from "getting theirs". If you think the answer is working from the far outside fringe, go for it. The rest of us understand that "compromise" is not the same as "selling out" and people need to "work" to find solutions.

Unfortunately you are living in a dream world that is an extension of some romantic fantasy you have about being "progressive". You have to walk the walk instead of just providing lip service, and it doesn't appear that you have done that based on your ramblings. You are no different from Rush Limbaugh.

"I'm not caving in to the temptations of being adored and accepted by the middle class liberals or conservatives.'
I don't think you have anything to worry about there.
