United Liberty

It’s been a while since I’ve had a conversation with a zealot socialist.

I used to all the time when I lived in Seattle, San Francisco and then Berkeley but these types become conspicuously absent while living in the suburbs. When I did encounter them, I was better at avoiding political conversation. However, recently I made the mistake of talking with one.

We were talking about the tuition hikes being inflicted by the University of California and California State University bureaucrats. This gentleman opined about how America was evil and driven by greed (Isn’t it amazing how that talk doesn’t stop even when a Democrat of African American descent is Commander in Chief, the Congress is in the hands of Democrats and the country is on the precipice of universal care?) and how he wondered whether he should leave the country for some place that wasn’t engulfed by “profit-driven bullshit,” like Canada or the United Kingdom.

Yes, he really said that. This brainiac really lives in a mental world where America is the only country with an economy driven by profit. Chances are if you’re at this blog, you don’t need a detailed explanation of why that is wrong.
