Who am I to speak, but I think OFA should figure out a creative way to use these remarks.

Their brains transmogrify whatevery they see.

Obama was saying that buisness didn't build the roads that facilitated the business's successes! Oy vey...

each attack ad needs a referee. Let's
eliminate editing.

Lots of (R) get up and thank others for their help.

Then challenge them and say that all they have is, really, due to society and they're nothing special, or say because without society they wouldn't have it so they really owe it (more or most or all) to society, is to get the response, "I built it on my own."

They can believe both. Just as some of us can think that it was through hard work that they and not somebody else built it and yet society helped them. No contradiction, just a matter of focus and emphasis.

You diminish them or claim ownership of what they built and, of course, you get a bad response. It's like saying Obama was just a front, built up by others and really just a hack. Suddenly instead of his success being due to mostly society, it's all sort of other things. It saves the losers in society from blame and makes the majority feel good, but it this kind of drivel-for-thought does beg the question: Why, exactly did society help Romney? Why didn't society help him and not some poor guy barely making ends meet?

Context matters.

Ben had a short autobio which was basically just his early adult years in Phillly. He came up with a whole slew of civic ideas which required people to pay for services and the people thought they were fantastic ideas to improve their town and gladly paid the fees. He also had them put up a public building which was open for all denominations to have their preachermen preach. He outright said it was also open to Muslims...........chew on that right wing freaks....

should be taxed at 100%. You won't find that fact in "Glen Beck's Common Sense"

Whether it was a rolling log, or stone, someone had the brilliant inspiration to make a connection, and thus an invention. All of a sudden the world was on wheels.

The tcp/ip protocol, Calculus, some artwork were truly created. And I don't even really know if those were really created out of thin air. There were probably things that lead up to the sparks of creation. Most music is an evolution. The number of truly unique creations is very limited. So much so that it might as well be considered public.

I think the bottom line here is very important. Are we all working together to form an entity. A product, even. We've watched this country, and others, play a game of tug of war. That's no way to build a house. It takes twice the effort. And the end result is nothing in comparison to something where everyone is working together to create something of beauty and pride.

I'm dreaming again.

These are powerful facts why can't we get them included in the national dialogue.
I demand that the press raise the bar.

who had a wonderful idea. It would make him millions. And he had the money to undertake his idea. But he could not get it to work as he lived alone on an island by himself.
