Actually, Armor's description of his uncle reminded me of many of the more articulate liberals I have known. You remind me of many of the other kind of liberals I have known.

I didn't say Armor was name-calling, I said his post seemed designed to provoke it - maybe in me. I grant that idiots like the uncle are out there - as are idiots like the ditto-heads. But to use them to portray a generic liberal (or with ditto-heads, a generic conservative) is inaccurate and provocative.

Case in point: "Every man is, or hopes to be, an Idler."
Idler defined:
a. Not employed or busy: idle carpenters.
b. Avoiding work or employment; lazy: shiftless, idle youth.
c. Not in use or operation: idle hands.
A perfect example of the mindset under discussion.
Now, let us return to a civil conversation.

Do you forget what forum you are on? My quote was intended to be a humorous reference to the desire for ER. You are reading in a liberal mindset onto the entire ER group -- or do you agree with the poster some time back who asked if "ER is selfish?"
