How dare you call me a bigot. Why, I'm absolutely fuming now, yeah right. Anyway, I would never think of you as being a terrorist. Well, on reconsideration(and looking up the silly word), I suppose I am a bigot. I am indeed intolerantly(well not completely intolerant and certainly not obstinate) devoted to the ideals of compassion and democracy. If that makes me a bad person then shoot me. On the otherhand, could you also be a bigot for you fairly intolerant and obstinate devotion to your god and capitalism(read profit motive)?

The problem of capitalism is that it forces people to think in a profit above all else manner for their own economic survival. It is not that people intend to become terrorists and rarely recognize the link between their actions and violent terrorist actions. I think Frode is mainly upset about the complete indifference and lack of compassion that is engendered by the capitalist system. It is not that capitalists are evil, so to speak, but that their sphere of concern is very narrowly defined.

Nice rhyme by the way, but I fail to see where reason enters into it. Perhaps someone else could help me out in understanding Stuart's reasoning?
