Not agreeing with me is evidence that we do not agree. No surprise in that. We can still talk, can't we? RBS: --- It's possible that communism could be revived in some former republics of the USSR. --- No dramatic "revival" would be required for many formerly communist countries. Just a transition back to old familiar ways. Isn't it rather academic that any socio-political group which believes communism is the best viable economic and political system could assume power. Particularly in unstable countries where there is nothing competing for that niche. <shrug> In spite of your light dismissal, there are still plenty of folks in evidence even in this country who are devoted to Marxist ideals. They would welcome another chance. RBS: --- True enough. But the alternative to democracy isn't necessarily communism. --- Oh? You think monarchy or feudal fiefdom are still popular up-and-coming governments? RBS: --- We'll please be specific about my speciousness, if it's not too much to ask. --- Don't play dumb. Your characterizations of Benson are nearly unanimously polemic. Lableling him as "the icon of the right wing" can hardly be taken as an even-handed compliment by anyone. RBS: --- I listen to him and many others. --- Yes--there's listening, then there's listening. RBS: --- You are putting words in my mouth, drawing inferences that have NO BASIS IN FACT,Brother Jim. --- Eh. I only put words in my own mouth. Yours is way too far away. <smile> RBS: --- ...whether theres a commy in every commode. --- In your face, Ron. This was your (obviously polemic) characterization. Want to change the tone of the discussion? Go ahead, I'll reciprocate. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.
