Re: Pence and his extreme agenda
Instead of tearing them down you should be taking them as role models.
Like the guys at Boeing, prepared to sacrifice innocent peoples' safety and lives for a relatively modest decrease in cost and increase in profit ?
No thanks - I'll stay a decent human being, thank you.

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Deceitful how for goodness' sake ? You described these guys as role models - I pointed out the folly of that by reference to a real life example - in what way is that deceitful ?

Re: Pence and his extreme agenda
Nope - you bunched all of the rich and successful together and labelled them role models - you didn't differentiate, so I pointed out one example of a bunch of rich, entitled assholes.
There are definitely some good rich people, but I am not going to take someone as a role model, just based on their wealth.
I bump into pretty rich people a lot in my job. Purely anecdotally, I would say 25% are good people or average - and 75% assholes. And generally, the asshole percentage increases as the wealth does.
