Econ 101
Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

Many many years ago...

I was the “odd” kid in elementary school who read voraciously and kept to himself. I loved reading everything and as the years went on my booklist ran the gamut from “Misty of Chincoteague” to “Tales of Mystery and Imagination”. The latter did not endear me to many of my same-age peers and the former was seen as a “girl's book” In those days, being bullied was the natural outcome for having such reading habits. For having any reading habits, actually.

The beginning of my last year in elementary school I stood up to the one bully out of the lot who had consistently made my life miserable for years. Afterward, he didn't come near me for the rest of the school year; the name calling (sissy, queer-bait, pu**y, wimp, fa**ot, re**ard,  weirdo, etc.), the sucker punches, the tripping, slamming my books to the floor, and full-on after-school beat downs, finally ended.

After years of trying to use reason, I stood up to my grade school bully in the only way he understood. He was sitting on a library table (quite the “rebel” thing to do in 6th grade) holding court and taunting me as I was reading, several tables away. The insults were unrelenting so I finally left me seat, walked over to where he was sitting, and knocked him to the floor, giving him a bloody nose in the process. Then I walked calmly to the librarian's desk and asked for a hall pass to the principal's office.

There was, of course, the requisite aftermath.

The principal called for a parent-teacher-administrator meeting. The teacher in attendance, I'll call her Mrs. Doe, was the one who taught the class that brought us all to the library that day. She was not a fan of mine in the least. Never had been. She suggested that I be suspended then switched to “special ed” upon my return because I didn't test well and clearly had a behavioral problem. Another teacher, however, championed me and suggested an IQ test and an interview with a counselor, instead. The results of the IQ test and coun…
