BTW, clo, further down the thread you wrote: 

Maybe the thought of 'working a farm', stunned him, at his age?

You smear him for attending a 'liberal college', yet, YOU too are there!
you are a piece of work. ;))

I hadn't actually smeared him at all, but you saw, as you usually do, what you wanted to see. No matter if it was tied to reality, or not.

My commentary wasn't about him, but about a newer generation which has been tremendously disadvantaged by school costs imposed upon it by OUR generation, and a pervasive notion (spread throughout our youth by corrupt economic policies and a brainwashing public school system) that "saving is bad." (Indeed, I'll grant that saving counterfeited pieces of Federal Reserve scrip is worse than bad. It is contemptible.)

The "smear," if present at all, was aimed more at you, and not at all at him. He's one of the early victims of Progressive policies - such as excessive debt and a collapsing economy.

clo, 

re: "I don't recall commenting on your additional college education. My instinct would be to compliment you for your efforts to expand your knowledge."


Way back when, I'd mentioned a discussion with a classmate who was stunned that I was able to afford a farm.

#msg-696933

I wrote, "But he's a poor, starving kid who probably can't imagine actually having some savings and being able to own something himself."

Something in that post made you fly off the handle, implying that I'd said I saw no value in his taking classes. You lobbed an uncalled-for grenade my way to boot: "Do you get nose bleeds at that level?"

Most odd, today, to read that it was meant as a compliment. That was one strange compliment.
