Actually, a friend came to visit and he brought his new wife.

They stayed at our House and we took a little neighborhood walk; there was some Homes up the road that were opened in something they call around here, "The Parade of Homes," I suggested we go in because this house had some really neat features. She glared at her husband and when I said, what's wrong? That's when she explained her belief that everyone should live in the same house. I didn't even know what she was saying at first. I was shocked to find out that she (because I know her husband's politics) actually believed absolutely eveyone should live in one type of home.

I wanted to say well then what if one person landscapes his yard real nice - won't that be unfair? What if the kid in the barracks nextdoor has nicer jeans? But, he was a good friend and it seemed there was enough tension already.

When I told the story to my brother and his wife, my Sister-in-law told me she believed the same thing until she was around 30. She had heard the theory by a Professor in College.

There's the great story of the college professor who taught his students all about the benefits of socialism. The students were so taken they immediately dove into their assignments. One student was awarded an A+. The prof suggested the studeent split the grade with another student who was given a C. The student objected complaining that was not fair because of all the effort that was put into the project. The professor responded, "Welcome to Capitalism."
