"When those of us who have been screwed by the system in a total opposite manner they claim is the norm, they turn around and attack us for being leeches at the government teat because we may just choose to utilize something the taxes we pay permit the government to provide."

Years ago when I was a teen, someone made the above point to me, and it's one I just can't argue with. It made sense then and it makes sense now.

The real solution is to dismantle the welfare state and programs and lower the tax rate.

Exactly.

And now I am truly calling it a night.

I didn't assume anything--she says above that she didn't accept free schooling and in practically the same sentence admitted she did. 'Welfare queen' I may be, but at least I don't preach about how I am not accepting government largesse, especially so vituperately, to another poster merely pointing out that generally, single taxpayers subsidize family taxpayers in the US. You don't like me pointing out hypocrites, tell her not to be such a public one.

To quote from my freeper home page: "I don't represent the LP, or stand for the LP. My freepername is about giving a perspective on who I am and where I was at the time I stopped lurking. That's it." I don't represent libertarians or Libertarians, and never have claimed to. And your labeling my posts 'bad behavior' is certainly your perspective--if I'm addressing a hypocrite who's attacked the personage of a rational poster, especially a post and a poster that I support in message and tone, it's appropriate to toss flames right back at `em. And there is nothing bad about that in my view.

My 'asinine' comments are such that you couldn't respond to them if you wanted to, since I'm sure a rock could beat you in a game of checkers. I'll miss your company like Clark Clifford's. See ya.

I suggest you try gabbing to someone who cares.

Who the heck do you think you are to speak to any of us the way you have?

---I'm a poster on this board who had cause to correct another Freeper whose comments were less than responsive and sidestepped the issue raised by another Freeper by being insulting.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you said you worked in another country.....If I am wrong I will offer my apologies, I expect you will be doing so just as quickly.

---And so I did say I worked in another country, but there is no connection between that and 'who am I to speak to you.' I don't recall hearing about you ever granting a royal audience, chuckles. Whatever my presence in another country today or tomorrow, I have every right to point out the hypocrisy of another poster, especially one who seems hellbent on denying their own involvement in the ubergovernment of the U.S. Your evident alliance with and personal knowledge of 'Ruthy' notwithstanding, she was wrong in calling out GS's comments, which are 100% dead on, and telling GS, "So you place your condescending commentary where the sun don't shine, doll." Who the heck do you think you are to defend that? It's perfectly obvious--an obsequious omadhawn who thinks manners are only appropriate for people who ain't you or your pals. So I have one more thing to say to you in this post, and it ends with 'and the horse you rode on in on!'

Oh, Corin, you're as original as ever, and almost as bereft of value to the reader...except, of course, you use my words, which decreases the futility of your own a smidge.

"but the biology don't lie."

I agree with you, but they'll figure out sooner or later how to manipulate stuff like that. Case in point: My wife's "Shape" magazine. On the front cover. "Fertility Breakthrough: A New Way to Stop Your Biological Clock."

I am a Boomer and I haven't made any demands
