[kj] FW: jaz date change 4 spoken word

[The Exorcist]

The same way communists and Marxists quote their 
supposedly "greater" brand of living.
Giving and helping is NOT a communist/marxist/whateverist idea.

It was done before any ism's or ocrasies.

People helping each other out is fine and lovely. 
You'd be quite surprised at how many greedy 
"Investors", dare I say "capitalists"
give out of their pocket to charities. Come to 
think of it when the leader of the US chapter of 
communists was asked  about his
charity it was some trifling percentage of his 
gross annual income and he gave that "charity" to 
the very own paper his group puts out.

People being FORCED to help out is NOT acceptable.

Me giving 5 dollars to a homeless man is NICE. 
You putting a knife to my throat and forcing me 
to give the homeless man 5 dollars
is WRONG.

And that last line
"And don't forget that we've never lived in a 
time when poeple in power are prevented form 
being corrupt, so how can we know if everyone in 
power will automatically be corrupt?"

*shakes head* Where to begin....
