- "Victim?" Hey, Riley, the bootstrap ideology *works*. Try honest work
- sometime - you never know where it'll get you. You don't even have to
- step on anyone to succeed, and in fact, large-scale success works better
- the more people you help along the way. Anyone who needs to try to bring
- down someone else's success to support her pathetic, victimized ideology
- is in need of some very basic help.

- I still don't understand why I'm a "reactionary Hitler/Reagan-ite" (you
- think that one up all by yourself, Riley?) because I support the death
- penalty, the rights of individuals, and desire a bit of personal success.
- I guess anyone who isn't a martyr for the Cause is automatically a psychotic,
- rich-kid, fascist, Jew-hating, Pope-raping, money-grubbing, George Bush clone.
- Talk about a binary universe.
-
- Speaking of "the Cause," Riley seems to be good at name-calling and
- vague threats of "the shit going down in my affluent backyard," but what
- does she really stand for? Or is she too soft in the head to develop a
- real philosophy? You into this name-calling-vague-threat-thing just to
- bolster your self-esteem, Riley?

- In any libertarian society, some will choose to be greater than others.
- Enough said.
-
- And by the way, I am a scientist (a physicist to be exact - we love to be
- exact), and I hold no illusions about the objectivity of science in general.
- But we're doing far better than your crowd, Riley.
