Artful Dodger: Is the life of a child who dies for lack of health care as meaningless to you as the book in which you profess to believe? Or did I take those scriptures out of context? If so, in what context should I understand them?

I have not argued on this board for a replacement of capitalism with socialism. I have rather argued for a more effective, more just, more humane & equitable mixture of the two. You don't seem to understand, either, that our current system is closer to a mercantilist system than a true capitalist one, in many respects. But I can't get into that. Czuch would call it "babble" and you would call it "meaningless." Suffice to say, we have different perspectives & different values.

Ah...and I was hoping to sneak in here & make a couple of quick unchallenged posts. I have a screaming headache and I planned on meditating on Tuesday's new pic to ease the pain. lol :o)
