Re: I'm glad you recongize that Communism doesn't work in REAL life, but it doesn't work very well in thoery, either you know. Communism (and socialism) require the goverment to have almost COMPLETE control over your lives. Imagine that. And just think: Under Communism and socialism, work doesn't mean anything. A farmer who works hard for his family so that they can have bread on the table at night will get JUST as much as a lazy bum who refuses to work at all. That sounds good on paper? And how come I never hear people talking about OUR system of capitalism and this republic (not a democracy) we live in. It looks great on paper, and it works even better! Although, sad to say, we are slowly losing it . . . -- Debating... Shouldn't you have something better to do?

Finally a person who knows the difference between democracy (mob rule) and a constitutional replubic. I challenge the rest of you to get out your dictionaries and look up these terms before the socialists finish their health care reform and destroy what is left of our country.
