Long live socialism!

Hey, fellow Americans, let's learn to admit that we like socialism. It ain't all that bad. For instance, social security and medicare are socialist programs. And how many of us want to get rid of those entitlements? Oh, maybe a few on the lunatic fringe of the Republican party. But most sane Americans are appreciative of such programs. And when George Bush tried to privatize social security, it met with strong resistance. Thank gawd. As for medicare, anybody who benefits from it (mainly senior citizens) are adamantly in favor of it. Some day, it'll make sense to extend medicare to everybody. Yes, socialized medicine. Just what the doctor ordered. They have it in every other industrialized country in the world. Long live socialism! The humane alternative to capitalism. --Jim Broede
