well, continuing the metaphor, sink or swim, we'll see how it turns out. However unlikely, I do hope you survive.
Could you explain what it is you're hoping I survive that apparently you won't experience?
Could you explain what the alternatives were and what it is that turned out badly. I think we're like ships in the night here, no?
It sounded like you were rallying against capitalism. The alternatives being communism and socialism.
Just when you thought you only had to choose between a metaphor and analogy, along comes simile.
Hmmm. Do we need an article of faith here? Or just an article?Just when you thought you only had to choose between a metaphor and analogy, along comes simile.
Well, not to worry. Just keep up with the news and it will become increasingly obvious. Though I hope I turn out to be the one who was stupid. These days I'd rather that than the looming economic disaster I perceive...or misperceive if I'm lucky enough to be the stupid one.
Why not just articulate what you have to say in plain english instead of doing the cryptic thingy.
Because that way I can be fairly accused of being cryptic instead of being falsely and rudely accused of being socialist or communist. And as you have been hearing that the American Dream is on the verge of being fulfilled for the last 60 years.
It comes down to you believe capitalism doesn't work. That much is pretty clear. Which is fine. Many take that position. So do you want to have a discussion about that, or did you just want to drop off a metaphor and leave it at that?
