There's nothing wrong with socialism, just the poor implementation of it that some countries did. The Scandinavian countries did a much better job. India's state of Kerala even has a "communist" government but you wouldn't know it as it seemed to have some of the most prosperous communities of the states that I visited. Socialism is a helluva lot more fair than capitalism. The latter is for money crazies, materialistic souls and not for the spiritual folk. Capitalism is "sink or swim" and a high entropy system. It is primed for gangsters to take it over which they have many times and have again. Most people probably think that the US had only one depression era. In fact it has had many. Your school textbooks whitewashed that fact. Anyone studying the economic history of the US would conclude that capitalism is a piss poor system. It might be okay in a limited format. Socialism and capitalism can co-exist side by side but you have to limit the capitalistic aspect of it. What we have in this country is a bunch of rednecks and teabaggers who are too ignorant to really understand economics and really don't know history. They deserve the kind of government they're going to get but I just want to move it and them to Antarctica. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: fairfieldlife-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
