The thread in order:

I've had enough bitting my tongue placating the simpletons. If I offend,
good. I have no intentions of rewarding large scale societal damaging
actions or views by withholding my vitriolic condemnation.

I really don't want this country to be viewed as the breeding ground for
"underpants gnomes" and Farengi --Jim

So as you responded to my post, you indicate now I am a simpleton?  Is 
this really necessary? --Geoffrey

We can only strive to become
enlightened enough to know how stupid we are.  We are so stupid, we even
have different opinions then the right one.  --mine

And further more, I did not cry about enlightenment.  I did not say I
was enlightened.  In fact, I said I was stupid:

We can only strive to become
enlightened enough to know how stupid we are.  We are so stupid, we even
have different opinions then the right one.

The right one is Jim Kinney's. 

What is more, I also covered your opinion:

..oh, right, there are none.

Probably just have not done it correctly yet.

You:   thinking the socialist and communist
economic systems are somehow directly related to the failures of the
governments that used such systems

See?  So far, everybody that tried that from of economic system, just
was not quite right, so we need to do it again.  I mean just because
through all of history, it has never worked, that does not mean it will
not work THIS time.

And please note, at no time have I said YOU were less then me in any
way.  I am happy I can amuse you (flash backs to "Wise Guys").
