City decks NFL proposal with lots of folly
And the gullible rabble of suckers will vote for it, their social instincts appropriated by The Great Manipulators to convince them that a bunch of billionaires and multimillionaires are "home teams." They will suck the rest of us into this black hole and banish us from the paradise of "America's Finest City" to slabs on the desert and other places more befitting our economic status.— December 30, 2015 9:55 p.m.

Oops! I opened myself up to more digression--nay, displacement activity. Why can't she (or s/he) be used as a gender-neutral pronoun as well as "he?" So back to the point. Regardless of the sex of the "victim," when one DEMANDS or lusts after some consumer product that is not essential to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, one is claiming to "need" something that is EXCESS to true needs. This leads to an imbalance of resources out of proportion to fundamental need. Just because we take "prosperity" (and an ever-increasing level of DEMAND) for granted, it does not erase the fact that we are eroding the same resource-base from which true NEEDS are drawn. By fulfilling our fantasies of endless "progress," we are making the potential for meeting true needs scarcer and scarcer.— December 29, 2015 8:38 p.m.

If I may be so presumptuous as to "correct" you, you have conflated need and greed. The victim may SAY she "needs" that much money, but there is no proof that she needs it vs WANTS it. I must presume that you do "get it," but are just having fun. I'm still serious.— December 28, 2015 3:38 p.m.

Just add grr. But I'm serious. Greed and need ARE conflated. THAT'S the problem. The distinction is crucial, but it's ignored.— December 28, 2015 1:07 a.m.

Even a parasite "knows" better than to suck all of its prey dry. When the Great Shift of wealth happens, who will buy more and more and more TV's, stadiums, and the vast array of trinkets to salve our souls?— December 24, 2015 9:24 a.m.
