Staying positive, this individual is saying that it is misguided to think that crime doesn't pay. At the same time I'm sure this individual is saying we can't support crime, but understand the motivations behind it, to enable its elimination. We are not naturally criminal, we are, with our natural state recognized, law abiding.  Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create a recognition of our true status.

Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create a drug free world.

Don't do drugs.

With good intentions and positive attitude we all are destined to enjoy a much, much better standard of living. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create a better standard of living for all.

In time, humanity will understand the true meaning of wealth and stop fighting over baubles and trinkets. An individual's personal health is the supreme ruler. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create health and fitness.

A different situation doesn't necessarily have to be a catastrophy. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create an alternative.

It appears to me he's attributing a cause and effect circumstances to the inanimate item in question, money.  It is clearly a greedy childish scheme phenomenon where the little boys and girls raise prices, not to mention less product, so they can have more pennies and dollars, lots more.

I don't understand this strategy I guess. We in the Social realm just believe in making our objectives as clear and concise as possible. Using trickery to eliminate the trickery that "capitalism" entails appears counterproductive, so we Socialist announce more along the lines of, ladies and gentlemen we are going to pursue a different course. That's the simpler.

Correction: a psychotic, antisocial criticism, having no alternative attitude is what's wrong with America. 

Mike, Norwalk, kindness and decency is the attitude of Socialism. 

Mike Norwalk, a psychotic, antisocial criticize, while having no alternative attitude, is what's wrong with America. The Socialist is what is right about America and has the solutions.

So we are to thank bribed elected officials and not farmers? 

Humans pride themselves in their productiveness. Objects are only interested in producing objects, in this case, Money. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create productivity. 

With unfortunately the passing of Mr Friedman it would be of interest what his perspective of Government or Socialism entailed. It doesn't appear he had much accurate description of either, sorry to say.

Mike Norwalk if we are to continue correspondence. You are going to have to present yourself non- aggressive, reasonable, and detailing accurately. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create transparency.

Mike Norwalk you are as usual, are aggressively,  irrationally and ignorantly misrepresenting. Other than this comment, I wish you a good day.

"The nothing wrong with America that can't be cured with what's right with America." 
              President Bill Clinton 

No, Mr Mike Norwalk, you and this Friedman fellow are making a mockery of our government. This is the prevailing attitude. A significant maturation attitude change and we could make very substantial reparations. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create good government. 

The Socialist spends all money accorded to him to promote life.  Not really understanding this not very insubstantial quote the Socialist does not discriminate or intend any unfair regard for any monetary resource allocations allotted to him.

This debacle called free market economy is nothing but an economic powder keg, so to speak. The lack of human quality reinforcing elements are going to lead to misguided materialistic misappropriations leading to intense unbalanced resource allocations, like today on February 29th, 2024.

Its just another transaction process that's required for a creature educationally challenged in the evolutionary tides. As dubious at it my be, nonetheless developmental.

We certainly need a broadening of personal and community perspective. We need to examine ourselves and discover our own individual shortcomings and quite blaming others. It's the system, not the individual.

With this attitude you're simply not properly using all your government facilities.

This is the case of the recreational sex and drugs so normally practiced in our world. The normal vulgar accompanying behavior is just unreasonable. Humans practice sex to bring forth new members of the species. These drug concoctions, what can be described as garage and basement manufactured drugs are not needed because of no proven effectiveness. And humans try valiantly to present themselves dignified and honorably.

It takes a heart to have a heart to heart.
