...oh, and more on Jay Diamond: he's a lefty but not as far to the left as the wacko socialist he had on as a guest. He tried to pin the guy down with "and under socialism would we be able to own our own houses/property?" and the guy admitted, well,
we're so used to that in this country that we probably could.
The guest (Alec Johnson)'s website is http://www.socialistalternative.org if you wanna see more
extreme lefty drivel. What a smart Alec! (/sarcasm)

(from the Socialist Alternative site):
"We see the global capitalist system as the root cause of terrorism, war, poverty, discrimination, and environmental destruction. As capitalism moves deeper into crisis and recession, a new generation of workers and youth must join together to take the top 500 corporations into public ownership (italics mine). We believe the dictatorships that existed in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were perversions of what socialism is really about. We are for democratic socialism where people will have control over their daily lives." (No, fascist socialist leaders will have control...) Mr Gates? The socialists are here to take over your office.
