Why on earth are you letting facts get in the way of partisan talking points Bill?

I know that given a choice (which thank God I have) I'd choose to live in a country that has to try to fence people out rather than a country that has to fence them in!

I remember being in Berlin in the mid 70's: It was a wonderfully decadent city, as the (West) Berliners lived each day like it could be their last, and my strongest memory was of sitting in the rooftop bar of the Hilton looking out at all the bright lights, and then at the nothing beyond them, like any Caribbean island, except that the blackness out there wasn't the ocean, it was communism.

While many in academia will espouse the wonders of a theoretical utopia, communism has failed every time the social experiment has been tried, and very few people who have actually seen both alternatives will ever decide against capitalism and freedom of ideas.



It's rarely rocket science, it's usually just math: then again if you can't do the math.......
