Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 23:55, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Apology accepted. Politics can of course be an emotional subject, even when our task is the dry-seeming one of writing encyclopedia articles about it. --Christofurio (talk) 00:15, 12 March 2012 (UTC) As to the question you've asked me on my page: it is a good one, and I'll give it some thought.
It has been a long time (a decade!), but I have finally put together some points in response to your questions on my page concerning Rockefeller Republicans if you are still interested. The Rockefeller Republicans received a lot of support from Wall Street because the leading figures of it, going back long before Rockefeller, going back to Wendell Wilkie circa 1940, have been Wall Street creatures themselves. Nelson Rockefeller of course came from the family that created and gained its money from Standard Oil. Why do they support the New Deal? The Rockefeller Republicans are generally capitalists who believe that one has to keep revolution away by co-opting the most popular ideas of revolutionaries and taming them so capitalism is left unharmed. There were people who saw things much the same way within FDR's brains trust helping CREATE the New Deal. This point is at the heart of your question re the redistribution of wealth, too. One point has long been that there ought to be a safety net to keep people from desperate circumstances, because people who have nothing to lose become revolutionaries. From this point of view (and it is worth noting that even Maggie Thatcher did nothing to try to dismantle certain social democracy features of Britain) one can see I think how the Colin Powell's of the US are okay with some sort of safety net, although phrases like "the redistribution of wealth" suggests something systematic and a priori -- they aren't willing to go there. That is my view of it. I don't put them up on pedestals, but they were as a group neither irrational nor anti-capitalist. --Christofurio (talk) 02:19, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Unsourced material in Phillips Academy
[edit]Can you please explain in the Talk page for Phillips Academy why you believe a large section that has only one source should remain in the article especially when editors are explicitly allowed to remove unsourced material? It would also be helpful to address why that material should be in article at all when our Manual of Style specifically states that "Sections with lists of miscellaneous information (such as "trivia" sections) should be avoided." Thanks! ElKevbo (talk) 16:18, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
