>>What are you trying to say? << Gee I thought it was a whole lot clearer than what you were trying to say. Let's take a look: >>Collectively, better individuals make a better society. You probably don't believe in natural selection, do you? You know, Darwin? Or is it just social Darwinism, like the nazis?<< Your response to John makes no sense here, natural selection DOES make for better individuals. so your statement doesn't make sense. >> Even if you do, where do better individuals; or, in the free market system, where do better companies come from, anyway? Is it breeding? << Companies can't breed, silly statement and doesn't make sense. >>Or is it learning from experience? Are all those who make mistakes to be cast aside like so much rubbish, or to be appreciated for suffering on our behalf? << No one is being cast aside in our society because of ENRON, (where did you get that?), BUT experience IS costly. >>Is making a mistake because you've been lied to count as one of your losers?<< Gee a lot more people lost tons more money in the market collapse of March 2000, while analyst continued to pump the market while distributing stock. I don't hear any cry for those that lost in that scenario. But alas I guess there's no way to attempt to tie it to Bush so the Millions of people that lost Trillions of dollars was a non event in a liberal's mind. >> Does George Bush's mother in law fit your profile of a loser who can't accept personal responsibility? ``What I'm outraged about is that employees didn't know all the facts about Enron,'' said Bush, who was a friend of Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay. ``My own mother-in-law bought stock last summer and it's not worth anything now.'' dailynews.yahoo.com. << Is George Bush's M-I-L a loser? I don't know, but if she held onto this stock in the face of the TA, then she shouldn't be investing in stocks, she broke about every rule in the book with regard to limiting losses. This stock waved red flags a year before it's collapse. The chart on page 5 screams sell, long before the collapse: 208.149.108.6 For those that invest and insist on NOT "learning" from their mistakes need to heed this advice: "A man's got to know his limitations" So that's where I'm coming from.
