If you seriously think American children are over-weight because they're too busy reading rather than out enjoying that "great physical activity" we know as golf, then I'd say you are at a greater disconnect from reality than I thought. But of course, a disconnect from reality is to be expected from an individual that frequently exercises the mind in the nonthink of religiosity and the self-inflicting delusions of Christianity.

You don't seem to be following your protestant ethic very closely.

See, I can throw religion in as a non-sequitur too.

As if this has anything to do with anything? If you're contending that the liberal elite in America is an example of an elitist attitude more than a middle-class man who happens to play golf; then obviously I'd have to agree with you. But you're going to have to refrain from consistent irrelevancies.

I think this is definitely somewhat of a truth that many Democrats and self-proclaimed liberals need to understand. At least many of the elitist conservatives are public about their support for the upper strata of society, but the most bourgeois liberals can do is complain about capitalism and pander to big business in the same breath.

Way to paint a very broad circumstantial generalization. You don't provide any context. But I guess inferring from your insinuation that Marxism is somehow mutually exclusive with individual liberty or even 'free choice' expresses your profound ignorance of actual Marxist theory. But that's a different thread.

Nor has there been an example of pure capitalism, or any form of capitalism for that matter, that worked without being corrupted. Not only that but there hasn't even been an example of 'pure socialism' in history.
