garbage (that Coulter sprays with abandon) that has produced a political system that is essentially at a standstill. People like her are not idea people, they are provocateurs and most of all celebrities. They rabble rouse and shout loudly not to solve problems, but to create their own cults of personality that will perpetuate their own wealth and notoriety and help no one but themselves and their employees. Your relentless identification with such a charlatan and a phony (the white female Jesse Jackson she is without a doubt) renders and colors everything you say with a patina of disingenuousness that not only makes me want to vomit, it also makes me see everything that is wrong with the current political system in this country.
And the media that feeds on its filth.

Everything that I have wanted to say for a long while all compressed down into a nice, little, neat package. My frustration comes from these things being so apparent, yet all the while society refuses to look at the truth. Human nature is very constant and depressing.

This is another thing that I can't understand and probably never will.

I don't think anyone ever said anything to this degree, Jason.
The simple fact is that, yes, there have and will be wealthy philanthropists and their contributions are great. However, the fact that people like Paul Allen, Bill Gates and Oprah donate money and at the same time have $60,000,000 homes, huge yachts and spreads that are the size of small cities is a little ridiculous. Does anyone really
need all that stuff? I can understand the desire for luxury, but people who revel in luxury should not be surprised when people call a spade a spade.
