Say whatever you want about Billy Ray Cyrus (not a bad actor) but his “Ackie Breakie Heart” was a lot more danceable and memorable than the “Macarena.” The same for “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” by B&D.

As the CC Music Machine would say, “Get up and dance, yeah.”

PS: Just in case you think I have forgotten my rock & roll roots, my first 45 record was (and still is, with jacket) “Jailhouse Rock”. Long live the king!

YOU are “sophomoric”.

And you didn’t asnwer the question asked by Jim Baker.

The problem with socialism is that it destroys the money supply. Money is congealed profit. The only way you can generate more profit and more money is to reward the producers with that profit, which means the workers should be the private owners. Socialism outlaws, partially or totally, private ownership and the ability to expand the national supply of profit and money is greatly curtailed. The immense supply of money and wealth that has been accumulated with capital creation combined with private ownership and free markets is suddenly dissipated as a bunch of self-interested power grabbing monopolists unnecessarily limit the supply of production even while they are making sure that their power centers grab more and more of the shrinking supply by governmental force, without any obligation on their part of reciprocation and exchange.

It doen’t have to be this way to achieve equality of opportunity and private ownership of the growing supply of capital, if everyone is provided a private meaningful share of capital ownership based on effort. The Socialist pursuit of the forced reduction of the supply of wealth is not necessary to achieve equality (and won’t achieve equality anyway) once the supply of money and wealth is maximized by making everyone a capital owner properly trained in the purposes and obligations of capital accumulation.

The next time you are inclined to move history backward toward the socialism of fuedalism, think of how many people your reactionaly theories will force into starvation and poverty just because you have been brainwashed into thinking less wealth and money somehow gets us closer to equality, which is not true anyway.

Well, Bugs, I fear the times, they are a changin’.

Give us 4 or 8 years of the New New Deal and we’ll all be eligible for “folk” status once again – because we’ll be broke once Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are done gangbanging us for our own good.

Ah, yes, I can see the hits a’ coming: “The Subprime Bailout Blues,” “Hey, hey, hey, where’s my 401-K?” “Global Warming is Here and I’m Freezing My A** Off” – ah, yes, the folkies will have plenty of material.
