I usually don't write in, but just read what others write. I will, however,
put forth my ideas about socialism. I think that people do better under
socialism because you usually don't have a few people with most of the money
or whatever and the rest of the people with very little as is the case with
this country. That being said, I also think that people loose something if
they don't have the opportunity to rise above their fellows. So, I thnk
socialism is a better system, but I also don't think it will work.

'socialism, or any other planned economy, always leads to
totalitarianism' t his is a paraphrase of a Hayek quotation
"....history had repeatedly confirmed: The effort to transform natural
inequalities into social equality could only lead to greater, more brutal
inequality; the socialist effort to transform individual diversity into social
unity could only lead to the totalitarian state.

Bob,
It seems that a lot of the things you are talking about point to a trend
toward
totalitarianism, not necissarily socialism.

Maybe I don't know enough about Ron Paul, but from what I get, he wants to
get the government out of everything. That's how we got into the mess we are
in is by keeping the government out and letting the market take care of
things. It is odd that all of those who, since Regan have been hollering to
get government out of the market, now want the government to bail them out.

Do you believe the majority of American voters want the truth? Can
handle the truth? Recognize it if it is presented to them? Respond to
it in a positive way?
