May I live to see the day when, at least one time, the socialist sympathizers fail to bring up something that statist Americans have done, in excusing the putrid Soviet system. Russians gas/germ tens of thousands and the liberals perform contortions to exucse it; Soviet complicity in assassination attempts against the Pope is well known--the leftish types are merely embarassed. Let's hear now how the Moon is polluted by the ALSEP and how that justifies the Soviets dropping radioactive containers at random around the earth. Jump in any time, apologists!
