@davidmanhart1 Thank you for your support, but I cannot return the favor. Too many socialists have prospered (albeit at the expense of everyone else), and have often suffered only at the hands of other socialists. For a few exceptionally brutal and cunning socialists, their creed insured them a lifelong vocation as unfetterd despots.
Thus socialism is not a religion of the stupid. It is instead a faith for professional beggars and pirates, thieves and cutthroats. All intend to profit thereby.

@DrCruel I so completely agree! Socialism is religion for the stupid.

@davidmanhart1 Do you count amongst their number the idiotic religion of socialism?

@DrCruel: as you prove.. wisdom is more important than intellectualism... we need to discard religion and other stupidity

The native Americans were more pious. They left maggots in wounds, that these larvae might do the Almightys work, and thus avoided the misery of gangrene. It took us centuries for Europeans to figure out that trick.
But Twain is right. We ought to be humble, and not put upon others with our false intellectual superiority. The universe is very big, we know very little about it, and it's unwise to pretend otherwise.
