Socialism and Communism are failed ideologies and always have been and always will be. I agree 100%. And now we are seeing that pure capitalism is about to join that club.  Don't get me wrong - I believe capitalism is better than socialism. But uncontrolled capitalism is inherently unstable, imo. It has to be regulated by a government that can be thrown out in any given election. In other words, we need checks and balances between public and private sectors just as we need them within just the public sector. Sadly, government has been bought by the very people it should be regulating. And, sure, politicians are at fault and should be held accountable. But blaming them without blaming their funders is akin to arresting the hooker while giving a pass to the john. Scott

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
