Correction:
There’s usually somthin left to lose, whether you realize it or not:
Take a nite’s sleep,
and a hundred books or so,
two computers that I have hopes didn’t get wet enough to finish off,
shoes, paper products, etc etc.
Lucky we have tile floors,
else the three slightly flooded rooms would be a REAL mess.
…sprinkler system malfunction….
we’re thankful we’re not in Buffalo:
The poor workers there had to thaw blocks of ice from all the firefighting to separate the plane pieces from the house pieces, from the people pieces.
as we say here:
“Lucky we live Hawaii!”
(and now I can add, that I didn’t have to learn about communism growing up, thanks to two by)
…course they say it’s harder to teach an old Doug new tricks,
so we’ll see how I adapt, won’t we?

LOL –that’s pretty telling –i recall my own lords of the flies era, we used “expropriated”. now that i think about it, that must’ve come from dads in the service in WWII. “Nationalized” –that’s a good’n.

Well, Doug, some may argue he’s really a fascist (socialist corporatism), but then, Lenin also rolled out his NEP for a bit to get investments in that he could later “nationalize”, so marxist may be the best fit.

Funny, when I was a li’l kid, people were saying “I nationalized this” and “I nationalized that”, and I did not understand what they meant. Actually it did not take long and I realized they meant “wealth redistribution”.

twoby,
She once scolded me for describing the one as a “Marxist.”
Perhaps she’s perjorphobic?
I was just trying to be accurate!

@ 258. slade

As a pejorative, I’d understand, and something awful may be a way to deal with it..

As a clinical diagnosis of you know who, though, you don’t have beef.

And if I hear the pejorative “narcissistic” one more time I’m going to

do something awful.
