I voted for Jill Stein for POTUS in the last election. :)

Why you bother voting, bro?
Because I care about local offices and for those I always vote Republican or Democrat.  But in 2012, I didn't like NOBAMA at all, didn't really care for Romney, and knew Kentucky was 101% likely to go for Romney so my POTUS vote didn't really matter anyway.  Besides, I met Jill Stein once and she was very nice. :)

And very few people got to their place of work or back home or anywhere they needed to go via strategic bombers or missiles.

The fuck they didn't.  The projectile fired from a mortar is called a "bomb", and lots of mortars have been put on trains.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The Communists themselves have a stellar record when it comes to the environment.

The Khmer Rouge really decreased Cambodia's carbon footprint.

Fight globalisation and you are fighting the (potential) rise of the thirld world from poverty. Simple as that.
Well, now I'm against globalisation.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

True, but the massive influx of carrion threw the whole ecosystem into chaos.

To me this seems like trickle-down theory, which does not work very well in practice.

Explain.
I was under the impression trickle-down (supply-side economics as by the Austrian school) works perfectly fine.

Indeed for them it works fine; whilst below you're literally under an impression, an impression of fairness and opportunity.

The great flaw with trickle down economics is that it assumes all extra capital generated will be invested in the domestic economy.
