Socialism is best because under socialism. No one has to worry about being poor or starving to death. No one is poor, unemployed, discriminated, everyone is equal reguardless or race or creed. Today such ideas are condemned as evil. Any attempt to protest against slavery and genocide and human rights violations are met with the cries of COMMUNISM! By the religious right and then they conjure up stories about Stalin, Gulags, tortue, police state etc. So therefore we must stick with the current system of sweat shop slavery, poverty and racism while rich people who already have all they will ever need in life continue to thrive off our blood sweat and tears.
CAPITALISM KILLS:
Amazing how they criticize socialism and incorrectly lump Socialism with communism especially when capitalism has murdered more people than any other ideology. One forgets how capitalism starves the poor, about how beggars are thrown in jail, how native indiginous populations are exterminated so the rich can make an extral million bucks! They dont mention about how they control and oppress the people and how the masses are enslaved 48 hours a day in big factories so the rich can make money. They dont talk about women being abused and mistreated and discriminated. The Ku Klux Klan were Capitalists, the Nazis were capitalists, Augusto Pinochet was a capitalist, Ronald Reagan, Pol Pot, Queen Victoria, Columbus, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Pat Buchanan, the pope, Osama Bin Laden and the terrorists they are all capitalists. Why dont we scream about the ills of their "system" of whatever!
COMMUNISM VS SOCIALISM
There is a big difference between socialism and communism. Communism is where the state controls everything. This is very similar to capitalism. The state controls the lives and destinies of everyone. Under socialism, everyone controls everything and everything belongs to everyone. We dont need to worry about stealing or going hungry or any of that stuff.
You might say, but hey! Who is going to have to work and whats the incentive for work?
Well of course that is somthing else but not to worry! Everyone will be working rich and poor. The workers however will decide everything and we can let the filthy stinkin rich worry wome other time. Everyone will have a job and be paid lots of money. I propose a minimum wage of $20.00 an hour for all workers. A maximum hour work week of 30 hours in a 8 day work week. Every company must hire unemployed workers reguardless of age sex race creed or education and we should also have an education system run by the people who will decide as a whole what to learn and if all else fails, we should can the rich and redistribute their weatlh. dont worry. They have plenty more where that comes from ;) YES! SOCIALISM! IT IS THE BESTEST GOVERNMENT EVER! I CANT WAIT! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
Ok.. potholing for gerbils it is! ;)
See you! I'm going to nap!
Enjoy your nap - I hope these gerbils aren't going to nibble at pipes while you sleep! ;)
Gotta go... back later.
The gerbils are in Anoreth's room, since she's the only one with a private room, but they officially belong to James and Pat!
How's James doing with his project?
;-)
Slowly.
;-D
Good luck James! 
LOL!
Seems to be quiet in the castle tonight.
Too much beer in the castle den??
Possibly. I didn't have any of it, though.

2006 National Book Festival
Fiction and Fantasy Pavillion
Washington, D.C.
COMING SOON...(Tor Hardcover, September 2006) Spider has delivered the final manuscript for VARIABLE STAR, based on a detailed outline and notes completed by Robert A. Heinlein in 1955 and recently rediscovered, to editor Pat LoBrutto at Tor Books for a six-figure sum via Eleanor Wood, agent for both Robinson and the Heinlein estate. Spider pronounces himself "pleased with the results."
"Completing a book from notes by a dead author is almost always a mistake. But Robert A. Heinlein apparently isn't really dead. He was obviously standing at the side of Spider Robinson as he wrote this book, guiding his hand. Variable Star will delight the fans of the greatest science fiction writer who ever lived, and at the same time, stays true to Spider's passionate themes of optimism, kindness, and humanity's future among the stars." - John Varley
Spider and Jeanne Robinson have been selected from over 300 nominees to appear at this year's US National Book Festival. They will be reading and signing at the Fiction and Fantasy Pavillion, starting at 12 noon on the 30th of September.
La, la, la, I'm a happy camper.
