The socialism and communism in America originated on the European side of the world, and then attempted to migrate it's movement to the US side of the world shortly before the failure of the USSR. So it's not surprising to me to see that Europeans are primarily of one mind as you say regarding these issues; there is a multitude of reasons after all that we had an American revolution against European totalitarian rule. It was all that ultra-left-wing bullshit. Since that time it's amazing how weak these "right wing ideas" have made us. Yep, the US is practically on the edge of collapse. > > But we seem to generally agree that these discussions do not belong here but > on some other list.

I'm fully aware of who's URL it is since I was here well before he ever created the site and I was also here a long time before alot of peeps here joined this list. However, as I said, I won't stand by while leftists get their little comments in thinking that there will be no opposition because right thinking people are too shy to give it. That's how this dissent got started; a leftist comment, not a correct one. But I do agree in principle to what you are saying. It belongs on the OT list. I'll be glad to go there whenever they do. --LX -- ������������������������������������������������ Kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk Linux Mandrake 9.1 Enlightenment-0.16.5-12mdk Evolution 1.2.4-1.1mdk Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ ������������������������������������������������
