"So I take it you believe that Hammurabi was wrong when he wrote "The first duty of government is to protect the powerless against the powerful." Yes?"

"Protect" doesn't mean take from the rich.

Likewise, the H-man had no idea there would be such a thing as evil demoncrats in power in the future. He wasn't Nostradamus.

 

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work."

 Mother Teresa

So are you taking the position that power has nothing to do with with economics, bigbrother? Do you believe the saying "rich and powerful" is an oxymoron?

 

(Does anybody else find it amusing that bigbrother, the one who gets his undies all in a bunch when certain individuals respond to questions posed to certain other individuals, has responded to a question that was directed at gta1?)

Well, JOS, I see you have decided to make another personal attack. You always do that when losing your debates. At any rate, my undies are just fine and have never been in a bunch, mostly because they have no room to bunch. Any point I've made regarding questions posed to certain individuals was clearly only to demonstrate the double standard and attempted rule-making of certain posters here.

Nothing in the text of your post reflects it as "directed to gta1". Besides that, when the chosen one got his fingers slapped by tarrall at NL, they posted this site was for free and opening sharing....Guess you missed the mailman that day, JOS. Or, is this your subtle attempt at controlling who should be posting here?

Well, JOS, I see you have decided to make another personal attack. 

Personal attack? I didn't realize you were so sensitive. I apologize if your undies were offended.

You always do that when losing your debates. 

We're debating? I haven't even stated a position. I'm just asking questions. Didn't realize I could lose a question. Of course, I see you didn't answer any of my questions. I've noticed that you always do that when your losing a non-debate.

Too much information, thank you.

Any point I've made regarding questions posed to certain individuals was clearly only to demonstrate the double standard and attempted rule-making of certain posters here.

And any point I've made was clearly pointing out that you're doing what you're always complaining about others doing to demonstrate the double-standard of certain other posters here. (Pssst.... I mean you.)

Nothing in the text of your post reflects it as "directed to gta1". 

Except that I quoted gta1 in my post and used the word "you." Kind of like I quoted your post when I was responding to you, bigbrother. You'll notice I also used the word "you" in that post as well. I see you had no trouble figuring that one out, though.

Guess you missed the mailman that day, JOS.

Mailman doesn't deliver to suburbia. I've got a mean dog.

 Or, is this your subtle attempt at controlling who should be posting here?

Is this your subtle attempt at a joke? You know I'm not subtle.
