People have kids to HAVE SOMETHING TO DO. People rob because they wanna get stoned or buy something they can't. Using the word profit in either of those equations is looney.

Quote:I'll use the word 'profit' more formally in the future - to indicate a business gain above and beyond expense, rather than to indicate more generalized idea of cost v benefit. And I hope you'll do the same, or we won't understand each other.

But it sounds to me like you agree: that profit and worth aren't the same, and profit shouldn't be used to evaluate worth.

Quote:Well - ahem! - 1) you took the quote out of context without considering the argument, and 2) calling something 'screwed up' isn't and argument.

All the usual suspects have got us in this mess by doing what they always do, and they're not going to get us out with more of the same.
We need 'different', not 'more'.
Does she or her platform have anything to offer or excite Conservatives or Libertarians?
Liberals and Democrats being against her sounds like a start, has potential to stir interest.

As for a woman, I would still vote for Sarah Palin if she was the top of the ticket. She has been the best candidate on a ticket since at least 2006, maybe since 1986. If she would have been the top of the ticket I would have voted for her, despite having Ultra Liberal RINO McCain as her running mate.

I think I'm going with Booker.
I saw a clip of him on Ellen, he's articulate and seems like he knows how to act. He helped balance the budget in Newark for the first time in a decade. Rethugs will like that he's pro-gun and pro-enforcing gun laws we already have. Isn't threatened by LGBTQ. If he marries Rosario Dawson he'll have the geek parade eating out of his hands. Oh, and he'd like a woman VP, so that's a great first step on that front too.
Plus being black would piss off Trump, so that could only be a postive.
I admit to having taken a huge dislike to him in 2010, when he pimped out Newark public schools to Zuckerberg, who gave him $100 million grant so that Zuckerberg could try out his ideas on how to "fix" public education. I'm no too thrilled about "charity" and social engineering by the uber-elite, and disgusted that Booker would buy into it.

Quote:Thinking on it more, everybody against her: same thing for Trump. As a lifelong Democrat, the Democrats now hate him. And also the GOP hates him, obstructs him, constantly fights against him.

Booker may have just shot himself in the foot with white people...and ME.
Mark my words, "reparations" will start another civil war. Or just more white people sniping black people in groups. Hope it'll be worth it for something long dead.
