I thought we were making such good progress, I really felt a bond growing between us after finding common ground on parents yelling at umps.
Now I don't think you're even trying.


First things first.

I have found a place for you. Move to "the State of Portland" . . . outside of SF the most liberal place in America. If not Communist at least Socialist . . .

Your philosophy as listed above will fit perfectly.

A more capitalistic, fiscal and social conservative man you will never have the privilege of insulting.
Whatever you have inferred or assumed from my post you're wrong.

So your "only motivation" is not money, but also power, so you'll be happy to know that in this case I do not feel sad for you.

I never told anyone what their motivation is, was or should be I only said "I feel sad for anyone whose only motivation is money"
Nowhere did I infer what motivates you.

Is there no question left why we are on opposite ends of every issue?

You clearly are motivated to paint me as your opposite regardless of my actual views.
I'm trying so hard to ingratiate myself to you but you keep pushing me away.
Sometimes I think I'm the only one trying in this relationship.
