On a lighter note; one sentence reminded me of an old political joke in Canada:
“ the means to achieve their long-term ends of womb-to-tomb socialist controls over the people.”
The joke goes something like this:
At a party leader's debate during an election campaign; the Conservative leader assured the audience that his party supports health care “from birth to death”.
The Liberal leader responded: “Liberals support health care from “womb to tomb”.
The NDP (socialist) leader scoffed: “that's not good enough. We offer health care “from erection to resurrection”.
LOL@Your Joke!
