Look who's talking. From your own mouth you're a loser in the capitalism
game but you still think that's the best thing for you. Advocating a system
in which you can't win clearly demonstrates that your thinking is
irrational. If you were a successful capitalist it would make sense for you
to support that system, but you are one of the losers and yet you still
believe in a system you and the majority of Americans fail at. Now that's
what I call stupid. In fact you are so dumb that you need advice to tell you
to stop digging when you are already in a hole.

Naah, Gunner owns land which is a major benefit in a capitalist society,
plus he has a **** load of machinery on it. At the worst, he has a nest
egg in scrap metal that is highly unlikely to loose value.

Also, metal working skills are becoming rarer, and so long as he has
his health, he can always turn something and earn a dollar.

Remember, skilled manual jobs is one big thing they can't outsource
easily. They won't spend $10,000 removing and shipping the broken
equipment to India and back just to save $100 on the repairs.

Same thing with skilled tradesmen - They can't hand an unskilled
person a stack of blueprints an inch thick and expect them to make
sense of them, let alone a building.

His welding is another matter.

You heard, I see. Did his spare tire ever arrive? The guys in the
space station said that the trajectory had it heading for Oz...

I suppose the worst thing that can happen to Gunner since he hates green
things is that he is gunna have to become a gardner and grow his own
food. {:-).

Need I point out that the definition of the word "Gardener" in many
ancient languages all translate to "Lousy Hunter"... ;-P

Salads and vegetables are the warm-up and the side dish, but we were
built as Omnivores, and most humans are much healthier when we don't
diss Mother Nature and try going Ovo-Lacto Vegan. Of course, it's
just as easy to go too far the other direction...

(We'll leave the Sushi = Bait controversy for another time.)
