Bernice: You tell him girl.  He won't listen to me. 

Artful Dodger: rofl....Im only trying to stir him up because Ive found over the years it don't take too much

Bernice:Are you sure it's not me you're talking about? 

Bernice: ..Im only trying to stir him up because Ive found over the years it don't take too much

damn, I fall for it evrye time too!

Bernice: i hardly care... someone else mentioned they didnt like it to me, and I thought a bit about it, and just wondered if anyone else had felt like that... then I thought about the canadian anthem, which is the next most familiar to me, and i ddnt recall it ever being anything than the stoic version we all know...

I dont mind change either, but I like the saying " if it isnt broke, dont fix it" the US has come a long way on the back of capitalism and free markets, with many ups and downs along the way, whats the point in changing that? I dont mind a tweak here and there, changing times and technology etc, but socialism isnt a tweak, its a radically different direction... we are not broke even close to that bad, IMO!

Czuch: what you mean is YOUare not broke, and as long as you have the "I'm alright Jack" mentality you don't really care of others.

Bernice: I use the word broke not to mean monetarily broke, but broken, as in it doesnt work anymore... that our system itself is fine, a blimp on the radar doesnt mean we need any radical changes like socialism will bring.

Czuch: i stand corrected LOL

Bernice:  I knew what he meant. 

Artful Dodger: yes but you are a smart-ass
