Of course, coercive states around the world are places where poverty,
misery, and danger are unknown.  Me, I can hardly wait to leave the
relative freedom, poverty, misery, and danger of the USA for the
servitude, wealth, comfort and safety of Ethiopia, Vietnam, Cambodia,
Red China, Cuba, Russia, Afghanistan, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Rumania,
or any of the world's other shining examples of the munificence of
Marxism.

Somehow, Barry, I don't think you'll have to beat a hasty retreat.
