I think your thoughts are wonderful.....and I personally agree. I think we have given "Swallowedwords" additional infomation to think about. Hopefully he/she will. Although the common factor among us is Pearl Jam and their music. Considering these many differences we will have from time to time...I don't want to make any enemies out of friends. Some of us are older....(ME) and some are younger.... Which is so cool ....that at least we have this great music in common. Live and let live...but a little education never hurts anyone...correct? And people on this board like to educate me as well! Ha!
I'd be happy to educate and inform a fellow PJ fan. It makes me feel as if I'm "giving back".

Do I sense a bit of "sarcasm" in your tone? (Perhaps not). I'm trying to be nice. Hopefully you are trying to be nice, too. I am NOT quite that much of a pacifist. What exactly do you want to educate us on? Again...please be nice.

I'm far from being uneducated, so please refrain from the petty insults. When I said I'm not a big fan of social programs, I wasn't referring to vital services which go to those who can't do for themselves. I was referring to wasteful government spending, which happens to initiate from both Republicans and Democrats. My political philosophy isn't a simple one, but fairly complex. You seemed to assume a lot about me from the little I said about social programs earlier today, yet you know nothing about me. You are right, though...I am a fortunate person. I was blessed with a great family, good values, a brain that functions fairly well, and some talent, if I do say so myself. However, I'm successful based solely on my initiative and actions. I truly feel for those who have gotten a bad break in life, and those who can't physically or mentally compete. But, I have absolutely no sympathy or compassion for those who take advantage of the system, and the tax payers.
Again, my views are varied, and I no longer identify with any one political party, because any thinking person would look at the current administration, along with the Democratically controlled Congress, and realize that our politicians are seriously flawed, and we need a new crop of thinkers on both sides.
Oh, Ron Paul, how we need thee!
This SECOND response from you sounds more "thought-out" verses your initial "blanketed" statement. If you are so educated....then why did you respond to the previous comment (which I personally wasn't the poster) in such an uneducated way? You should have said all of this in your intitial post to begin with.
And BTW - I still find some flaw in your additonal comments. We can agree to disagree....right?

Unfortunately, Democrats in the White House and in control of Congress, means higher taxes, more federal spending, etc.
Believe me, the current crop of Republicans are spend happy, no good, politicians. I just wish Americans had more sense, which would've resulted in a Ron Paul nomination. We're screwed with McCain or either Hillary/Obama.
thanks George for my stimulus check. You used it to pay off my student loan. Props on finding new ways to steal even more of our tax dollars
.[quoteSome days...I just don't know why I respond all. Thank you...CHINA (for the "out-sourcing" the U.S.does with your country).....and extra "cudos" to India (Dell....just to name one...as well as the State of Florida....) and the M.E....(and that don't stand for the State of Maine, either). Whom do you think this "stimulus" package came from.....? It's all just a loan...with interest...from a foreign country. Enjo "stimulating" the U.S. economy at Walmart. Do you want some "lead" with your order, too?

You're trying to be nice? Hmm, seems like you're trying to stir things up.
