>> All,

>> Joe,
>> Now see what you have started!  You sucked me in again.  :)

>> Dwight,
>> 1) I am what is sometimes referred to as born again Christian, therefore 
>> you
>> can't get much more anti-communist than I am.
>> 2) Nor am I a socialist, being the son of a small independent 
>> businessman,
>> the heart and soul of what capitalism should be.
>> 3) However, I am slightly left of center with right wing tendencies - it
>> depends very much on the issue.
>> 4) My first sentence to Joe was a statement and was not itself a dig at
>> Republicans.  You cannot really tell how I would vote from what I wrote.
>> 5) I am not happy that you consider my country "the entitlement system 
>> gone
>> wild".  I have no problem supporting with my taxes a medical system that

>> entitlement, but more from political neglect. But we can leave that for

>> from
>> Americans and the American system, respectively.
>> 6) You are ill-informed about Quebec.  Check your facts.
>> 7) The quote is drivel.  You have managed to insult every anticommunist
>> socialist in Europe who stood on the front line for 50 years (i.e. the 
>> Iron
>> Curtain) to help make sure Communism did not swallow us all. For 
>> instance,
>> how about socialist, "neutral" Sweden, which had one of the largest air

>> East or the West?
>>
>> If socialists want to stand for election in a democratic country and be

>> if
>> free peoples chose them knowing they can be turfed out if and when they
>> screw up, like any other political party?
>>
>> And of course this mish mash of an e-mail contains my own opinions and do
>> not represent the company I work for.
