And if they are Marxist/Socialist, this is entirely bad? We have a number of Socialists on this list, possibly Communists as well. History has shown that Marxism works only in theory, but there's no harm in continuing to believe that it *could* work. Socialism and Communism do not automatically equal "evil," regardless of how hard U.S. politicians and corporations have tried (and continue to try) to make us believe that. (I can remember being a youngster in the 1960s, when no one bothered to explain Communism to me; rather, they just spit out the word "Communist" as if they were saying "Satan.") There are a lot of thing wrong with Capitalism, too, but I won't even begin to "go there" right now, as it's another huge can of worms. But please consider this: "our" way is not the only "right" way. Lori
