Alexander,
       As I said before socialism is more like a river than a lake. Down at
the mouth of the river Hitler, Mussolini, Brezhnev, Lenin, Stalin and, if you
are lucky enough to get there, you are not equal to everyone else.
       Back at the beginning of the river the inequality is also there but
those of you that push socialism know that the stupid won't see where the
river is headed. Your problem is that too many of us for your comfort have
seen the 200 year history of socialism and we know where it is that you aim
to go. We also know what an inept vehicle you have chosen insofar as keeping
your promises to the rest of us. However it will deliver the power you crave
if you can push it far enough down stream -- for the rest of us it will
deliver suffering and death.
       Well, there is one little caveat. If you read the history of
socialist countries at the higher levels of power they progressively look
more and more like criminal syndicates -- there is a good chance that you
will receive the traditional .32 caliber bullet at the base of your skull. I
wonder if it will be because the great leader no longer trusts you or because
one of your untrusted but necessary underlings wants an immediate promotion.
       Forgive me if I ignore the baseless charges you throw at capitalism.
You and I both know those charges are only one means by which you wish to
advance yourself.
       Have a good day.
Ron h.
