: Man, you're wrong there.I accept that I am talking in general terms and that isnt all that exact but from my own experience, I can only speak about what I know, I've never met one that wasnt their entire life etc.
:I have two good friends from high school, one of them is gay, the other bisexual. You couldn't tell about either of them unless they told you. The gay kid is an activist,working for the Free Tibet Network. He actually got kicked out by his parents for a while and had to live with friends. He's a very nice, courteous, innoffensive guy. I think perhaps your acquaintance with gays is limited or unrepresentative. Many of them are perfectly ordinary people.
I dont mind them, I mean I have my opinions etc. but I cant do anything beyond self-government without going against principles I hold dear.
: And by the way, Lark, let me caution you, just a bit of comradely advice, against reading Adam Smith. Remember what readingtoo much Adam Smith and following his precepts did to El Salvador, Indonesia, South Korea et cetera. Smith was the forefather of the 'ethic' we see today that makes possession of money and power the only benchmark in deciding what rights people have. It reduces peopel to how much moneyv they own, it codnemns teh rest to inevitable suffering and it rewards teh worst impulses in human nature.
Cheers Comrade, I believe it I just read it out of interest, it depends on your perspective and if your a intellectual and political weakling, being a socialist, I think you'll agree, is more than being a member of this or that party, if a 'socialist' wakes up one day or reads some book and decide that socialism isnt right after all I find it highly dubious as whether or not the person in question where a socialist at all.
Smith would have fought Capitalism I reckon, he was pre-capitalist and everything that he finds wrong with fuedalism is more or less repeated in modern day capitalism.
None.
