Yes Bernie, the System is Rigged. Whining about it won't win you Black votes. Here's why.

118. Well, I'm happy you live in some foreign Nirvana. Which one?

Sweden?

Is that where you become a vast expert on the rights of minorities and the poor? How many minorities and poor people have the privilege of declaring themselves experts on American affairs by being an ex-pat?

I've traveled all over the world. The most startling place I've been was India and one doesn't go to India, in particular Mumbai, without getting a real sense of poverty. I'm not sure that the airhead Sanders knows very much about that kind of poverty, and from your glib platitudes, I'm quite sure you don't either. In any case, I don't accord you the right to speak for the impoverished because you're an expat.

If you live in a country where laws are equally applied to everyone, maybe you should just shut yourself up in your province wherever it is and stop whining about the United States.

As for your assertion that the perfect is the enemy of the good, I have no use for that either.

As a scientist, I find your misuse of the word "quantum" rather amusing. You apparently don't know what it means, but that's fine with me. Lots of people misuse the word. It applies to small things, very small things.

I have not asked to be worthy of your respect. Frankly, I'm rather choosy about whose respect I seek. Um, yours doesn't qualify.

I made it clear that I regard self declared "progressives" to be a rather clueless lot, and I couldn't care less about what they think of me or about anyone else. I'm an old man, and even if I started out as one among them, well, my pimples cleared up, I grew up, and I realized that bludgeoning people with my own opinions - at least the puerile ones I held in my twenties when I thought myself "progressive" - is rather counter productive.

I will be happy however, if you just stay away, and view our country from thousands of miles away. I find kibitzers to be rather useless, and nothing you've said in any way discourages me from thinking otherwise. We certainly don't need you here, and I for one don't want you here.

Have a nice...well...whatever, depending on what time zone you're in.
