I do not believe you considered relativity in that statement. On it's face,,, it's pretty dumb. Of course people will always struggle for power but,,, that is the point. Economic power should not be allowed to be an overwhelming force. Principles should be. Extremely concentrated wealth wants power, control. It corrupts all, government, religion, politics, education, justice. Perhaps the nature of power is more concerning than the nature of human beings,,, in a political discussion.

Really? Is that the depth of thought you admire?

When extreme and unjust,,, I do not believe that is a true statement. I think you have to look at the disparity in terms of the relative values of capital and labor and, in the divisions of labor.

Winning is more important than character. These institutions should not be desperate for anything related to football. The real question is,,, where does the money really go?

The basis of almost all politics regardless of the stated "reasoning". Politics is semi-civilized class warfare. The answers lie in balance, not in ideology. Peaceful, prosperous, civil societies are built upon relative equality. Relative equality is a requisite for real freedom and, actual "free markets". Concentrated power and financialization undermine innovation and competition.

IMHO,,, we should not unconditionally support any nation. We should support peace, justice, democracy, equality, humanity. Those principles are the basis of freedom.

This is a lie.

So,,, explain why inequality is so extreme and,,, why it is accelerating? You are okay with over five decades of almost no wage growth? Is it good? Is it sustainable? Does it promote capitalism? Does it promote democracy? Is the government for sale? Yes, there is middle ground. The key to good government is balancing the interests of capital/business with those of society (those truly are the only two political interests). I am merely suggesting to you that our current environment is grotesquely out of balance. I offer you proof with historic inequality, no wage growth for decades, the rise of billionaires, the hollowing of the middle class, a country that spends more subsidizing the wealthy than the poor.

Perhaps,,, when you are the one in the desert without a canteen,,, you will understand. Helping others should be our nature. We have been so trained/conditioned to compete,,, that we have forgotten the benefits of cooperation. I am sorry you feel "judged". No one is judging you. Your feelings are understandable. I would suggest your first task should be examining how much "welfare" in this country goes to those who do not need it versus,,, a real social safety net.

My only disappointment was not seeing Freeze's offense, not having him calling plays. Maybe when recruiting has become a little easier?

I feel better about myself when I can look down upon others.

Perhaps you have to try to understand how financializing all systems is inherently inhumane? Perhaps you should try to understand how education is far less subsidized now than in the past? Perhaps you just need to have more heart for those who are less fortunate. Does there need necessarily mean you must sacrifice? Finally, we are a society. We need to try to work together, for all. That is our best way forward. We need to stop blaming the poor and powerless. We need to stop using them as an excuse. We need to examine those with power, how they use that power,,, particularly when you consider the concentrations of wealth, power in our society. Why do you not want to help others? Relative equality is important,,, economically, politically, morally.

You are being too kind, too much of a humanitarian. Those who "deserve" help,,, have already helped themselves. NO poor people deserve help. If they did,,, they would not be poor.

Let's continue promoting extreme inequality. Let's continue subsidizing the wealthy more than the poor. The losers will always cry. Don't be a bleeding heart. People are only rich as a result of hard work. People are only poor because they are lazy, unmotivated, unwilling to work. The government is in debt, poverty is rising. The wealthy in this country need to run this country.

True. However, that is not our M. O. We typically do the exact opposite. You are believing in a lie.

Will likely show up on Youtube.

Absolutely. Power serves power. Our foreign policy does not serve or promote the principles of our nation. Our foreign policy serves power. Our foreign policy serves the powerful interests of our country. We are not, have rarely been,,, genuine.

As long as we are still paying Gus and Harsin,,, we can criticize them all we care to criticize them. Same for Freeze. The most highly paid, the people at the top, are naturally the ones who should be criticized. They are the ones in control.

NEVER, ever,,, wager on this game.

I disagree. We have two part time offensive coordinators. We have two part time play callers.

The sky "fell" years ago with a coach who no longer believed you have to dominate the line of scrimmage. We are now firmly into a decade of irrelevance. My only problem with Freeze is this: we have not gotten what I thought we were getting. I thought we were getting the Freeze offense. I thought we were getting a very, very good play caller. I still do not believe shuffling QBs was ever the problem. I believe the problem is/was trying to utilize two systems, two offensive coordinators.

So you really want to contend that NMSU has better players than we do??? We were seriously outclassed in coaching today. They were more prepared, more physical, better game plan, excellent play calling. We were not prepared at all,,, in any way.

New Mexico State?

We all knew Holloway would be good. Didn't know he would be this good. The freshman is playing like a veteran. He is special.
