“When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last! free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!'”

Sillik, your childish / prideful ignorance of nature’s law, science, truth and human nature / nobility of man is staggering while being beyond belief, if not for the reality thereof. What is your shallow misdirection / off topic fog that concerns the titles of God’s children and their individual sovereignty. Without an author or progenitor of ethics, morals, responsibility, right and wrong - the void / vacuum that is atheism has NO claim on such. Your claim to socialism’s right / wrong / morals / responsibility does not - can not distinguish between Marx, Mao, Mussolini, Hitler, Jesus, Gandhi or Mother Teresa.

FYI, I cut and pasted this from Logan’s post the other day - it works really well: Moral code originated with a belief in God. Otherwise, we're nothing more or less than animals in this world acting on mere insticnt. Is it wrong for a lion or tiger to kill? We would say no. Then, if there be no God, there is no right or wrong, because who is to say what is right or wrong? Murder is simply a means of survival (natural selection). Right or wrong is only a matter of opinion, originated by one man or another, and can be changed just as easily as it was originated, unless there is a God. The only absolute, if there is no God, is that there are no absolutes. It's simply impossible. Why is violence wrong? Violence is simply an application of the law of the survival of the fitest and means of self promotion, if there be no God. In such case, Hitler should be praised for his ability to survive.

I can't forget to explain, as always, to the negative minded mentally ill, don't stop being men, just stop being color coded.

Be men, not black or white, be simply men.

Sillik, please explain to those of us (those of the negative minded mentally ill), what does being men mean? Please don't use religious terms or concepts (as would be God endowed or related); OR, your normal circular word salad that doesn't mean anything or an empty NONdefinitive non sequitur. Please use a more tangible definition — by example: a physically matured bipedal primate mammal (a specific / limited specie of homo sapiens) with unique XY chromosomes.

Sillik, by religious terms or concepts (as would be God endowed or related — as illustrated above) I mean, don't employ abstracts such as: ethics, morals, responsibility, right and wrong in your definition of what men are / a man is.

Mr Mike Norwalk, good to make written contact with you once again. Men face reality, when they have $33 trillion debt to the world they don't talk about how many yards Tom Brady tossed the football. But that's all you're gonna hear from your mentally ill President Biden. Me, I want to discuss this predicament and find a solution to it, but in the world of the mentally ill like you, you tell me it doesn't exist. I say it exists and there's an solution. Gross domestic production can be raised substantially and reverse the current trend from a loss direction to a gain direction. Balance the debt budget constraints, you balance your budget, and you balance your mind, and I won't call you mentally ill anymore. I will than make claim to your mental health.

Sillik, hahaha / LOLOLOL — once again I lower my shaking head while in a state of almost uncontrollable guffaw. WHAT ? ? ? Being the socialist that you are, you just can't keep on subject or string together a coherent chain of facts or truth. I ask you what a man is and you try and answer with: "men face reality". What distinguishes between men and women that face reality? OK, in your Sillik alternate universe, since you are not a man, does "socialist" have some sex or gender connotation I'm not aware of?

As to your example, are you saying only men toss balls? In the real world of math, science, fiscal laws and of the mentally healthy, the $33 trillion debt you reference can NOT ! ! ! be extinguished completely through constraints, budget balancing or production increase. Once again I'll give a very terse explanation. The Federal Reserve Corporation lends debt that it creates out of nihility with interest. With out going into to much economics that you don't understand anyway; JUST to pay the interest off, more debt with interest must be encumbered. A good simile here is trying to dig your way out of a hole — the hole only gets bigger.

Yah, Mr Mike Norwalk, I think I have to stick with my example, men, as well as women, face reality. Men or women don't play football, baseball, basketball, hockey, etc. Men or women are also not concerned with winning Oscars. But these "subjects" are all that are discussed by the contemporary conventional individuals.
 Men and women concern themselves with building a civilized, life promoting environment, hence my interest in Socialism. Socialism means understanding our true social feelings is the start to understanding our purpose in the life process. The social responsible individual is the most beneficial and advanced organism that the challenging life force offers to existence. Resource allocation must be prioritized at this time and can't be emphasized enough..
