If it’s any consolation, the story that I wrote about a future society was not based upon any kind of socialism.
Although they had the advantages of fusion power, and a relatively unchallenging world to conquer, they were capitalists in their economic policies, perhaps even taking buying and selling to a bit of an extreme.
Socialism would work in a society where everyone was perfect.
I don’t look good in white.

Consider this my “Yes, as a matter of fact I AM still among the living” announcement.
Waiting for escrow to close so we can start making mods to FIL’s new house [wider interior doors in his apartment, ADA bathroom will roll-in shower, add bedroom and kitchenette], and begin moving our stuff to the main house, doing home repair in prep to rent out our place [looks like a missionary family on furlough might take it for a year or so], getting rid o as much stuff as possible in prep for move, raising eight chickens [including a black rooster that is developing teal highlights on his plumage and looks like it will really turn into a gorgeous bird], dealing with FIL’s ongoing drama [estranged wife finally moved out of his house so he’s back home to find that his brand-new Benelli shotgun, and trusty Savage 30-06/20ga over-under aren’t in the safe where he’d left them so filed a report with local Law who say he’ll probably never see them again though I’m pretty sure I know who has them, compensation will be taken out of said wife’s monthly check in any event, meanwhile FIL left on a short-notice trip to visit a terminally ill brother in Utah], work contract extended to April 2013 [Woo-Hoo!!], back to driving the ‘97 Chevy “War Machine” [it’ll clock over 300k miles sometime in the middle of next week] while the 2000 LeSabre gets about $1500 in body/mechanical work done, dropping a few bucks into the wife’s Aerostar, helping #1 Son gear up to go to prom with a girl he knows from his theater troupe [promoting honorable BOUNDARIES and the value of being able to look back without any regrets], keeping sibling rivalries and internecine warfare to a dull roar, ...
...in all, just been sorta chillin’.
Got coffee??
Can one actually buy that?
If so, do you know where?
