just curious, did you emigrate from a socialist country?
why embrace it and encourage its advancement here?
From the ussr. and it does not need either embraces or encouragement. I'm so much of a right-winger that even my nasal septum is deviated to the right - but people would not vote for me, and I'm smart enough to recognize at least that much. As Berthold Brecht once said in another context, a government could seek a different people. Ditto here. You have existing electorate, warts and all. What that electorate is, determines what could be done with it. If you do not like it - go and seek another electorate.
