Then state why ALL should abide by YOUR particular standard. maybe then we can discuss which (if any) parts of socialism are "acceptable" to legislate. i still believe the vast majority of us are motivated by envy which can and often does lead to "class" envy. either me miserable with what "little" you have or be happy for what you DO have and happy for others who have EARNED more than you and me. you'll show real growth when you can recognize that people from other than YOUR PARTICULAR POLITICAL CIRCLE may have good if not better ideas. it's called humility which is only possible with maturity. promote all of the country not just your particular subset. please make a list of acceptable socialist programs. then state why they are acceptable to you. then state why they SHOULD be acceptable to others. then base the SHOULD reasoning on a moral standard that ALL should abide by.

you’ll show real growth when you can recognize that people from other than YOUR PARTICULAR POLITICAL CIRCLE may have good if not better ideas. it’s called humility which is only possible with maturity.

promote all of the country not just your particular subset.

I hate to nitpick, but I would categorize this as as an example of explaining by naming rather than an ad-hominem attack. Good post.

I've been arguing this point with many a pinhead, but felt that I lacked a streamlined delivery that I think you outlined quite well. Long live Dr. Zoltan's obsession with logical fallacies. bravo.
