Firstly, yes I was pretty irritated.  Fortunately, it had nothing to do 
with being hit hard.  I simply get infuriated when I have to repeat myself 
over and over and over (as it seems you do too ;-)

Secondly, you stated that I'm "not pretending not to be a servant of the 
rich".  Funny, I seem to remember stating explicitly that I wasn't a 
servant of anyone but myself.  Laelth seems to put forth the attitude that 
anything which doesn't challenge the system is giving into it.  Amazingly, 
I believe it's possible to accept something, not because I was told it was 
good, but simply because I agree with it.  No doubt, Laelth will attempt 
to blame this on my "programming".  Here's a completely novel concept:  
Because something is accepted as right by the majority of the population, 
it does not make it necessarily wrong.  Laelth seems to still harbor that 
deeply imbedded resentment for anything established which any 15 year-old 
exhibits.

Thinking of the government as this omnipotent machine bent on absolute 
control is a divorce from reality.  You have no say?  The rich control 
everything?  Let me ask you something.  Did you vote?  Did your candidate 
get elected?  I bet he did.  Is he instituting these reforms you've been 
talking about the liberals presenting?  Imagine that!

I wonder how the rich could have let him get in government?  Surely the 
poor masses couldn't have elected him.  They're pawns under the control of 
big business.  I wonder why Trump didn't have the CIA gun him down?  
Surely, they control the military as well.  Well, no doubt he won't get to 
do anything with health care since it isn't in the best interests of big 
business.  What?  His bills are passing?  My God, I better get to the Bat 
phone and call the Rich Society for Totalitarian Government to speak to my 
local master and inform him of this.  We'll sacrifice him on the great, 
satanic capitalist alter to be sure!

Come on, stop kidding people.  There's no oppression of the lower classes. 
 Sure, not everybody's in the same economic situation, but that's just 
luck of birth.  Fortunately, it's a fixable problem.  There's no caste 
system in effect.  

By the way, big mistake comparing US ideals to Nazi Germany.  Shouldn't 
bring up the Jews.  The Jews came over poor imigrants just like the rest 
in the second wave of immigration.Fortunately for them though, they came 
with the same ideals you say will get a person nowhere here.  They're 
honest, hard-working and patient.  Thre rich welcomed them.  Are they the 
middle class servants you speak of?  Hardly, their hard work and 
determination paid off as I said it would.  They have a higher average 
income than white, Western European Americans.  Now, how do you suppose 
that happened.  They must have caught the Secret Society of Evil 
Capitalist Swine off guard as well.

Once again, I claim that Laelth's hedonistic ideals are self-serving 
principles designed to acquire wealth and comfort without earning.  We 
should hardly be suprised though, as he clearly has stated he is not 
familiar with the concept of "deserving" or "working for something".
