Lines: 16 > JoSH, you're an asshole. ... > Bruce Golub Proved my point, I think--if Golub styles himself a socialist, wouldn't you like him at the reins of your government? --Especially a socialist government, that gets to decide whether you eat or not? The unthinking, self-righteous emotionalism evident in Golub's tirade is quite simply the most evil force in human history. The willingness to strip others of their economic rights "for the good of the whole" leads so easily to the willingness to strip them of their lives; This is why mass murder is one of the (more spectacular) hallmarks of a collectivist society. --JoSH
