2. They like to use anecdotal evidence to prove that if only anyone and everyone had "shoulda
woulda, coudaed" anyone/everyone would have made it in the good ol USA.

But can anyone/everyone get that internship in the Movie Happyness or was there only one internship?

3. hehe. yeah, as in....
..."you give me money, (taxes) but it is your personal responsibility to provide services to yourself." Like those restaurants you pay to go and bring your own food and cook it and serve it yourself. You know.

6. Science tewlls us that anecdotal evidence is the worst kind, yet conservatives always tout the one
as if the one proves that all can. If only they tried harder. But there really is only one internship, not millions.

5. 'shoulda, woulda, coulda" boils down to we can talk about problems but as long as
we can pin the solution on "shoulda, woulda, coulda" means conservatives don't actually have to do anything to solve problems, since the onus is on the individual through every fault of there own who didn't should, would or could.
