My education barely touched Communism (I'm not exactly >sure why), so a lot of the stuff Holly wrote was news to me. As an aside, >my SO asked me to pass on to "Comrade Brust" (her little joke) a tidbit >from the Economist, wherein they profile Hernando de Soto, a Peruvian >economist whose dogs he named Marx and Engels because "they are German, >hairy, and have no respect for property." Oh, oh, oh, thank you but, as my suspicions were and like I said, and now Mr. Brust has confirmed and the SO will be told the next time we debate and he tries to tell me what *he* thinks of my ideology :) *laughs and grins wickedly*, my understanding of all of this is almost completely wrong. So, don't try to learn anything from my statements, it will just confuse the issue if you find it interesting and try to understand and study it yourself. ~Holly~ @>-',---- (who goes skipping away from the computer dazed and smiling with lovely thoughts in her mind.) _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
