Default We were divided and confused til our pockets were touched...

The vaporings of editorialists apparently impresses some of our posters more than others. Well, to each his own; I suppose.

Battalion,

At least have the decency and honesty to label this thread,

"We were divided and confused til our pockets were touched, PART II."

Sincerely,
Unionblue

To All,

Here is the first part of the thread Battalion is renewing, his PART I of his theme entitled,

"We were divided and confused till our pockets were touched..."

If you want to save time, simply skim through this previous thread of Battalion's to see what he is trying to get across and what other members debated with him.

It will save you time waiting for the repeats in the PART II of the same topic on his new thread with the same title.

Enjoy,
Unionblue

There was no need to start the thread over again, they're merged to save BW.
