    It really isn't. I suspect only unattractive old men think it's true.

    So now you are confused as to the attributes of an asset.

    The ONUS still remains of YOU to PROVE that a refinery worker who smokes is NOT an asset.

    So far you have failed miserably.

    Not expecting that to change either.

    He was DRUNK on duty!

    Smoking did not cause the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

    You just NEGATED your own nonsense about refinery workers who smoke.

    You must be so proud of that unintentional surrender of your position.

    Wrong again!

    We the People, as a collective, founded this nation against the ruling superpower of the day.

    We use our collective power to elect representatives all the time.

    Which human "asset" do you think is more valuable?
    The Drunk Master of the Exxon Valdez or a worker smoking in a refinery? ;-)

    They're making the same 'government=socialism' error as the right wing ranter. However, your comment is no more sophisticated. Its a race to the bottom!

    No nation can be a collective. Not unless it's VERY small, and VERY monocultural.

    You can call such an arrangement Socialism if you like. Will still be something else, though.

    Why not spend a little time reflecting on your own truths? I feel that your innate Capitalism would be better served by acknowledging it. Then at least you could run with it, and perhaps even see some fiscal improvement :)

    I thought you didn't think. For someone pretending to know stuff, you do shy away from content. Perhaps you'd like to construct an intellectual anti-socialist comment to impress us, or is that a step too far?

    There's never any content, so it doesn't take effort. I knew it was a step too far.

    Given the fib is even more crass, I'd be a rotter to let it out.

    I'll just say that you'll come out with bobbins and, following that bobbins, plead socialism with conviction. Job's a good'un. A nifty fib.

    Your ongoing abject FAILURE to prove your fallacy is duly noted for the record.

    Thank you for establishing that your Subject Matter Knowledge in this regard is sorely lacking meaningful substance.
