My great granfather was good friends with and an accountant for a communist leader in Czechoslovakia. I am guessing that when his daughter (my grandmother) moved here she adopted socialism because communism had an awful spin to it in America.

Not in MA though, its fairly accepted here. I'm next door to Cambridge so it a little more in my face. And if you harvard kids are reading this; No. I will not "rethink" columbus day.

We received one of the largest federal grants to do something revolutionary with public transit and we absolutly ****ed the pouch on that one. Now we have shifting highway exits, and giant holes in the ground that murder people.

Socialist prevelence here has sent countless people to jail on corruption charges. I'm no frontier republican, but big government is rife with corruption. In fact...

Corruption: Government::Diabetes: Obesity.

Smilabetes!

If you want to declare socialism as the best than fine. Don't even try to tell me that socialists respect individual rights.
