I ... uhm ... work at ... er... well... uhm....know of a university, and I can assure you that employees and students are handed their official card to the communist party the first time they walk on campus. You will, of course, note that many people are affected throughout their lives, in one way or another, by universities.

Some of us ... I mean ... them choose to file that card, which isn't made of paper but rather is more like a secret agreement sealed by handshake, in a certain container. Still others openly wave the flag and preach The Teachings of the Constitution. Why, I know of ... someone ... who has bought several of his ... er... their co-workers (even my boss) copies of The Federalist Papers for Christmas. Whether I ... uhm... this person lasts much longer after said stunt is another tale surely to unfold.
