I just made much the same point over at ...Exactly!! I just made much the same point over at Rachel Lucas' blog. I think socialism is a system that rewards all the Seven Deadly Sins. Wrath, envy, greed, gluttony, sloth, lust and pride.<br /><br />Capitalism recognizes those inherent traits in humans and because it diffuses political power by protecting the individual and because it returns to each man the right AND responsibility to his own life, each man is required to wrestle with those desires on his own. To the extent that he masters them (instead of them mastering him), he succeeds. Even greed is properly mastered in capitalism, though it seems based on it. Because all interaction must be voluntary, it means you must curb your greed by seeking to benefit another in trade or service.Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201235659652895050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555191244102972923.post-87218953291425433822012-09-06T12:36:49.598-07:002012-09-06T12:36:49.598-07:00And SLOTH!

In my years (a...And SLOTH! Don't forget sloth!<br />In my years (and, I'm not telling how many that is, but you're just a baby, Buttercup) I have come to the conclusion that there are three main traits of humanity: greed, sloth, and corruption.<br />The difference between the Democrats and Republicans, or more speciically, between commielibs and capitalists is this: Democrats tend to cater to all three, but especially greed and sloth, while Republicans tend to cater to greed.<br />Democrats want what they see the Republican having (greed), but they don't want to work for it (sloth), want the Republicans to buy it for them (more greed), and don't mind mutual bribery between the rank and file and the Party leadership so the government will steal it from the Republican (corruption).<br />The Republicans tend to work for what they want, and resent it when it is stolen from them.Ogrrrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367747403389258422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555191244102972923.post-73466628591462463402012-09-06T05:50:12.662-07:002012-09-06T05:50:12.662-07:00I LOVE that quote from Stalin!

My husband HAD to know what I found so funny, so I had to explain the entire post to him before reading your comment. HAHAHA! That was perfect.<br /><br />And maybe they are all sociopaths. I do think that as the left descends into its inevitable morass of emotional turmoil, they are kinda crazy. I mean, honestly, Fluke at the DNC? And Code Pink as walking vaginas? That is effing crazy.

Now bands are named FU...Back in my day, especially. Now bands are named FUN. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.cracked.com/article_15118_the-25-most-ridiculous-band-names-in-rock-history_p1.html" rel="nofollow">Cracked.com has a list of the 25 Most Ridiculous Band Names in Rock History.</a> A few of the most ridiculous....<br /><br />MATCHBOX 20<br /><br />The story: Explanations range from the name being the title of a song from an earlier band to the band's drummer seeing the word "matchbox" and the number 20 on a guy's shirt in a restaurant. Either way, shut the fuck up, Rob Thomas.<br /><br />Why it's ridiculous: If you're going to pick a band name that doesn't mean shit, there's an unspoken rule it should at least sound cool (Soundgarden, etc). Matchbox 20 manages a triple play of mediocrity: It's incomprehensible, it's boring and it's not even very original, given how many other generic bands showed up at the same time as matchbox with "word-number" combos (Blink-182, Sum 41, 13 Engines, Seven Mary Three, etc.).<br /><br />W.A.S.P.<br /><br />The story: Eager for a cool-sounding metal band name, Blackie Lawless, Rik Fox, Randy Piper and Tony Richards decided to take the word "wasp," then for no reason punctuate the shit out of it.<br /><br />Why it's ridiculous: When not naming themselves after animals, insects, or something misspelled, metal bands love acronyms. However, unlike KISS (which at least purportedly means "Knights In Satan's Service") or H.I.M. ("His Infernal Majesty"), the best that Lawless has been able to come up over the years is "We Ain't Sure, Pal." (This is probably better than "White Anglo-Saxon Protestants," but only slightly.) Worse, looking at W.A.S.P. song titles like "L.O.V.E. Machine" and "9.5.- N.A.S.T.Y." you start to suspect they might not even know what an acronym is, and just think punctuating stuff looks badass.<br /><br />GOO GOO DOLLS<br /><br />The story: The band found the name in an issue of True Detective Magazine after a club owner balked at their original name, the Sex Maggots.<br /><br />Why it's ridiculous: Say it out loud. There's your reason. But not only does the name sound like something an infant would gargle while bursting forth out of the birth canal, it doesn't come anywhere near to complimenting the band's sound (neither does the Sex Maggots, for that matter). Sure it might have seemed like an ironic name back when you guys were young and confident that you'd always rock the fuck out, but now you're on adult contemporary radio, and your name reminds people of the gurgling mess in the back seat that brought their youth to an abrupt end. ROCK!<br /><br />THE THE<br /><br />The story: A British act decided to come up with a band name even more ironically detached than the Band, just to make Robbie Robertson feel like an asshole.<br /><br />Why it's ridiculous: A band name this overtly meta is bound to either leave most people reenacting an annoying version of the Abbott and Costello routine or presuming you have a stutter. It also displays a level of pretentiousness that triggers an innate defense mechanism in most human beings to avoid your smug little dipshit band at all costs. (It's also not terribly smart to choose a name guaranteed to make it impossible for people to Google you.)<br /><br />There's more. These had me howling in an empty room. I blame YOU!Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201235659652895050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555191244102972923.post-73072803040068614592012-09-02T21:06:46.166-07:002012-09-02T21:06:46.166-07:00Satanic Fecundity would be an awesome band name.
