I haven't looked into anything about Islamic Finance. My only concern has been to establish what exactly is your political philosophy. It is not so I can publicly hang you. It is so I can have an understanding or a framework on which to hang what we discuss. I have never been into Political Economy or politics or economics and I am getting confused. I have been a straight ticket red white and blue patriotic republican my whole voting life and probably before, since I remember being pro Nixon in the 4th grade (because my parents were). I am only interested now because I sense something is wrong here in the USA. It seems the country I live in is becoming unrecognizable.

I am very sorry to have been offensive in my quest. I am just at such a loss. All of this Libertarian, Anarchy, Socialism, Equitable stuff is more than I can understand. Well I can understand it, it is just a complete 180 from the way I am used to thinking. So I feel I am going in circles. I never even knew there were so many political philosophies in my life. I am Pollyanna and myopic --I didn’t even know who Pollyanna was until a friend accused me of it –that is how small my world is. I just want concrete answers in which I can rest. I just want to know where I am going before I get there.

“If a person requires a Label, for whatever reason, it may be a good idea to look behind the curtain.”

I am feeling like a person who won’t give a label is hiding behind a curtain and I want to know why.

I am finding the words

“Your writing of what I might say if I were you sounds like an accurate angle of view.”

to be such that I cannot understand what is being said.

“What you might say if I were you”

does that mean

1) what I wrote is an accurate description of you from your point of view of what is the truth

2) or is it just at my angle of view which is not knowing the whole story?

I don’t know why it is so hard for me to understand meanings.

You said other people cut the conversation short and moderators pull the plug. What is so wrong with what you say? Can you tell me so I can know what is so terrible. You have said I should be afraid because you do not hold much back. Why did you get so mad at me for telling you my concern? Is it because I used labels in public? I was not trying to be rude or accusative. Is it because Josiah Warren got tagged with labels and had to reject them? Is it because labels are misunderstood? If you have gotten censored, why couldn’t you just make a paragraph about yourself like I did?

You don’t sound like an average Joe to me, and certainly you are not.
