    First of all that sounds like marxist gibberish.

    Second, why ask me?

    You almost make it seem like we could not find similar anecdotes in our own economy where corporate welfare even pays multimillion dollar bonuses.

    There must be a distinction or we would not need different words.

    Oh..I get it..we're stringing together meaningless words into meaningless phrases and trying to sound intelligent...Ok..

    Here's one;
    "Temporal and spatial dimensions are moving relative to one another."


    Your turn.

    I actually have an argument and don't need to resort to fallacy for my Cause.

    Why would anyone need affirmative action if they could not claim to be in official poverty as a result?

    I think solving poverty in our republic pretty much covers our civic obligation.

    We had a thread on this already - the fact is some formerly all black colleges now have white majorities. Dartmouth started out as an all Indian school now it is almost exclusively white. Why don't you right wing loonies complain about that??????


    By the way, there are several all female schools. Where is your objection to this sexist segregation?????

    We could be lowering our tax burden by simplifying our government policies.

    It is merely an official weight and measure of that phenomena in our political-economy.

    Hmmm...
    That's a new one on me.

    But then again, all the poor people I have ever met, served food to, delivered groceries to, brought Christmas presents to, and provided clothing and medicines to didn't care anything about being a phenomena in anybody's political-economy.

    They just new they were poor, and they were hungry.

    Correcting for "market" inefficiencies is one function of government or even corporate welfare would not exist.

    Where? I haven't seen anyone post anything similar that recognizes that the text of the Civil Rights Act invalidates affirmative action.

    This has nothing to do with my OP. Stay on topic.

    Even more off topic. And I don't appreciate being called a "loon." My OP was simple and respectful. The least you can do is respond in a respectful and mature manner.

    Also irrelevant to my OP.

    It is clear that you did not understand my OP. Perhaps you should clearly read and attempt to understand things before posting nonsensical comments that are irrelevant to this discussion.
