Actually I kinda like your Political stuff also Erik. I may not agree, But it has to be good for you to have a place to share your thoughts with the world, or even write them out in order to Reflect on Policies.

Another thing I was very impressed with was the use of your book in a college course. that has got to be one huge source of pride for you Bro.

I'll send you an email later about a few things you might be interested in.

I introduced his book to a couple of professors when I was still in school. One of them agreed that it would make an interesting supplemental book. I have no idea if they ever used it.  

That's pretty cool Waldo. I haven't had the chance to read his book yet, But It's must be good to be being used at a text book.

Toasty,

All of the words in the post are yours.

The reason it said it was edited, is because I changed your post title to inlcude erikbethke.com when I made it sticky as a service to the people who are reading the C&R forum, so as to not wonder what the thread is about and open it up and realize it is about my site when they didn't want to go there...

Ok...my mea culpa then. I didn't realize I was that kind on first blush (the self editor at work again I guess).

Sometime you and I are gonna have to chew the fat about the dichotomy of a site's obvious use of capitalism as a pathway to promote communism.

Again, sorry for zinging you about the edit.

Best,

No problem Toasty,

I personally think we do not tell most of the people around us every day how much we enjoy each other... that is my way of thanking you for your positive note and hoping that you don't feel awkward having been positive.

As for capitalism vs. communism, I am at the same times a very idealistic person as well as a very pragmatic person.  I am a strong business person as well.  And I can play poker well.  Not all those that believe in everyone getting a fair shake are necessarily namsy-pasmy push overs! ;-)

To sum up my political theory succinctly - socialistic base coating, plus a shiny metallic gloss coat of capitalism.

Any of the pure systems have already proven to be broken and evil-serving, so the arguement that I can entertainment engagement on both sides of the economic poles should be expected in a forward-looking arena.

Reading Erich Fromm is very thought provoking.

Actually I have at partypoker....

I have been on such a winning streak in my last sessions last fall I quit, it was csary good.

I was getting addicted to making more than $150 / hour at $3-6 hold 'em both live and online...

I sobered up and felt I should stick to games....
