I have a basic problem with this "discussion" of socialism;
it appears to consist primarily of opinions formed from stories
about the ism, rather than actual experience.  In this sense
the articles provide as much new information as Reader's Digest.

so flamed

I talk quite often with a woman from China (yes, she is in this
country for advanced education; no, I do not accept the current
superiority of some of this countries institutions as any statement
about all of same).

I also have friends from Iran, Israel, Greece, Italy, etc...., and
based on their experiences can honestly say that the system of
government used is less important to the commoner (as I count myself)
than the purpose to which that government is directed.
