It's pretty sad when people think that working for "the common good, (and) the welfare and happiness of all" is socialism or communism.
I guess if we follow this logic to it's conclusion, (as I asked a week ago and NEVER got an answer), then public schools, public highways, public parks and heck maybe even our courts and government bodies are socialist or communist entities, right? So if our schools, parks and roads are socialist creations, does Mr. Thompson propose not to use them, as a dedictaed anti-socialist/anti-communist? Just curious?
