"We can all use some good ideas."

So long as no anon guests attempt to put some forward, right there robomatic?

So you are a Friedmanian? Well, that certainly explains the closed mind, and the dire view of life on earth you hold. Just love your statements like:

"The global economy is a reality. It has its evils, but its 'what's for dinner'. You will not succeed fighting it, nor should you."

And your sentence that followed the above quote, which shows you are a company man for the duopoly status quo:

"You have to fix it from the inside."

And then there is this rant:

"As for where other parties fit in..."

in which you insist upon the two party system maintaining it's hegemonic stranglehold on the nation with this gem:

" I have friends who are Green, and I feel for the environmental side of their arguements, but to me they don't have a 'big picture' mentality whereas the Republicans do (a badly flawed one) and the Democrats consistently fake one (but their fake is better than the Republican fantasy)."

If that is your justification for supporting the duopolist system in the US, I guess everybody just needs to sit down, shut up, and take what the two parties force feed us?

Now there is some visionary thinking.

Glad I don't live in your head.
