Thank you, I'm already certain that sincerity is your best quality.
To the rest of you, hello all, I thought this was the best way to introduce myself. Some of you already know me.
As to the topic, little aphorisms like "give a man a fish..." sound clever, but are of limited use in getting ideas across except in the most base and propogandist fashion.
The reason is that it is so easy to simply switch who represents each side. People will readily believe that their own philosophy belongs to the wiser side of whatever little witticism they come across. I played along with my post (note I just switched the original author's assertion), but at least I made sure to back mine up with something. That's just how I am.
The truth of the matter is conservatives talk a very good game, but when challenged to offer what they offer that benefits the majority of people they turn mum or angry and sarcastic. Yes, how peculiar; no answers!
