Okay, since we're there:
Yeah. People who jump into practical discussions about universally-understood concepts like goods trading and waste time with silly semantics like "What's the definition of fair? What's the definition of right?"; who proclaim a God-given right to simply take whatever they can get their grubby hands on, things that they would have no prayer of being able to create for themselves, but feel they have a right to enjoy as if it is a required medicine or food group; who feel they have the right to tell me how much I deserve to earn for my work, without knowing anything about me, my life, my effort to create, or the reasons behind my desire to entertain with words; who speak of oppression but have no concept of living under a truly oppressive political system; who label anyone who asks even a penny for the works they create as evil monsters out to steal the wealth of the world; who also label anyone who tries to work out a simple and publicly-acceptable way to collect said pennies as "Big Brother," "Hitler," "Sheriff of Nottingham," etc, etc; and who continually misquote and purposely seek to get a rise out of me, hoping I will slit my wrists in frustration, and thereby rid the world of the poster child for the Apocalypse.
Yeah. Them.
Sick of 'em.
