Anyone who can look at the U.S. political scene in comparison with just
about every other major industrialized country and claim, as rabbit!jj
does, that "we're already committed to that path [socialism]" is hard
to understand.  That's not an ideological issue: it's an issue of simple
fact.  Believe me, I wish it were true, but it takes more than wishin'.

As to "nationalizing" you, I don't know what that means.  But if there
ever is socialism in the U.S., we won't need to nationalize anyone who
doesn't want to benefit.  They can keep screaming in the dark about their
"freedoms" while everyone else realizes the benefits of universal medical
care, affordable and safe housing, humanized technology and the other
things that socialism is all about.

Sorry, jj, but if anyone should move to net.flame, it's you.
