> Some Facts & Questions:
> 1. There has NEVER been a successful socialist community ever written about in any history book.
> 2. Who gives Bill Gates (& others) the right to control a million times the amount of non-renewable resources than I (or others) can ? (apart from his $64 billion)

The people who buy his computer. Your educated and you don't know this?

> 3. A significant proportion of homeless people in the USA have a full-time job. What more can they do to get adequate shelter ?

Work harder for it-thats what.

> 4. If you are for profits before people, go and find another planet to live on because the full brunt of the cost of profits is being taken up by the earth. One day (soon) it will fight back.

> 5. Do you want a cure for cancer? A new form of energy? How can we say we are researching these questions when everyone is keeping their knowledge to themselves (the whole point of Capitalism) and spending huge amounts of $ just to arrive at the same conclusions of everyone else. Imagine if we shared the info ...
> 6. Just in case you didn't know (this is not in any 'history book'), Russia suffered from Stalinism not Communism from the 30's onwards. Do you know what Socialism actually is?

People are not good enough to make communism work. It is because people are less than perfect that communism has failed. This is exactly
why capitalism is the only system that will work.

> If anyone disputes these words, I will engage ANYONE in a rational, logical, truthful, and happy manner.

OH that kind of debate will really change your mind. Idiots of your ilk
need some time to think in the lush wonderful rice patties of china. Pick an eat!
