speakers' cable

On Saturday 18 September 2004 08:05 pm, Leonard Martin did deign to grace us
with the following:

This has been hilarious!

What I don't understand--and this question also constantly comes up when
I listen to the Art Bell radio show--is don't these cable-pushers feel
ASHAMED when they lie? I know I do, and I had a fairly normal American
upbringing. Is there a subculture of Americans out there who are proud
when they give no value for money paid? If so, are there lots of them?
I've led a very sheltered life, I guess. Do any of you know any of them?

Of course not; they can *hear* the difference.

The easiest person to lie to is yourself.

Ummm, yes.

Absolutely. In America, success has become divorced from productivity,
success is now antithetical to productivity, in fact, the attitude is
that, if you produced anything (did any work for it) it was because
you were too STUPID to succeed in cheating someone out of it or
stealing it. People who have to or wsnt to actually do productive
work for a living are looked down upon as suckers. The ideal is
indolent wealth by connivasnce and trickery.

No. It is called being not-guilty of a crime.

Disagree. Historically, the least productive (warlords, kings,
landowners) got all the wealth. America is probably farthest from that
situation as any society has ever been in history.

Some ways in that direction, but Europe, for example, is
MUCH farther along:

In the USA, 2% of the population own OVER 50% of EVERYTHING!

In Europe, it takes fully 30% of the population to own half
of everything!! This is a MONSTROUS difference!!

Not difficult, when most of the population has a negative net worth.
All that credit card debt and SUV loans.

In Europe, it takes fully 30% of the population to own half
of everything!! This is a MONSTROUS difference!!

Why do you care about productivity? I thought you wanted everybody's
hourly wages to be the same.
