lets look at the people you hold in such high regard.
See there you go again. Acting like you read minds. Give me a break. Focus on what you think and quit trying to assume you know what I think.
I don't hold him in high regard. I just did a search for meme images related to socialism and chose some I thought were interesting. ;)
I don't put ANYONE on some pedestal of "authority". That doesn't mean even people with questionable actions or ideas might not say an interesting phrase from time to time.
There is NO ONE (even me) that I believe everything they say. Why do I include me? I am fine with changing my mind. I don't think I am a God and that I know it all.
I certainly can't read minds. I have plenty of problems keeping track of my own.
EDIT: I can tell you had no idea how I chose those images. That is why I was slapping you around for writing your phrasing as though you know my mind. I'm trying to break you of that habit. I can see that you're an intelligent person. I'm more interested in what you think than in having you assume and tell me what I am thinking. :)
OK, that just the way I write. However you are correct that I should have not used those terms. Thanks for your input. I'll see what I can do about that.
Cool. It is never easy. So I don't expect you to change over night. I am trying to change things about myself as well. It is far from easy. I've found being aware it is there is the first step.
I knew next to nothing about the first person you mentioned, I just liked his quote. :)
Respect!
