WaPo Discovers UK Anti-Austerity Protests

You could probably also include the student protests of last fall in this gestalt. I would think the WaPo would have noticed them, since at one point they intruded on the ability of Real People (Prince Charles and Camilla) to have a pleasant evening.

Hey Michael E., (July 3, 0655),

My first reaction to your reply was "what an anti-truth statement", but in the spirit of positve-ness that you reccommend, my follow up thought was "what an ignoramus".

I suggest you inform yopurself first, then formulate a response.

Average folks, armed with some knowledge, are quite properly outraged by being forced by their various governments to "pay" for the economic fialures and downright thievery of the economic elite. Talk about spending like a drunken sailor!

So how about some pro austerity for that bunch?

I was planning to keep silent on michael e's comment (is he not the guy who asked us to "name an Arab we can trust"?). But I can't. I won't go into the substance of what he says, but only in how he says it.

Michael e is clearly a disturbed person. Not because he is conservative, but because his inability to write clearly bespeakes — betrays — an inability to think clearly. He seems to write from a "hot" impulse, his fingers flying over his keyboard with a hysterical drive that shows a lack of patience with other people — especially those with whom he seems to disagree — clearly on display.

Anger comes to him far too easily, and too easily he feels the need to throw it as one would in a hydrochloric acid attack. I think Mr. "e" simply does not like us progressives and is too angry with the fact of this forurm to simply and patiently write his disagreements in a fashion that suggest a respect for other people, as well as command of his own beliefs.

Folks, it is clear. Mr. "e" is angry because we exist and because we express ourselves. Read again his comment; it is not thoughtful. It is merely rightist diatribe, projectile-vomited from his computer without even the benefit of the self-editing required for the sake of clearly written English. He writes only to unleash his rage; and hits the "Submit Comment" button as fast as his overwhelming impatience with us can carry his hand to the mouse for that pleasure-releasing "click". There is nothing Mr. "e" would have us know — except how much he seems to despise us.

And at the top his lungs, if that were possible.

Since we in the United States no longer have a manufacturing base, consumer spending is the only thing that drives our economy. Millions are unemployed and millions more work only part time. Ergo, the economy has stopped growing.
