The difference between "socialism" and "sharing" Nov 3, 2003 7:40:24 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by RS Davis on Nov 3, 2003 7:40:24 GMT -5 [glow=red,2,300]Vin Suprynowicz Wrote:[/glow]"When a teacher gathers up all the children's privately purchased school supplies, pools them and announces they are now available for communal use -- as parents tell me is now routine -- coercion is in play. That teacher may not literally hold a gun to any individual child's head, but you can bet any child who 'respectfully declined to participate' in this 'sharing' would be disciplined, ridiculed or 'written up' for failure to cooperate, follow instructions and play well with others. From day one, here we see the reproductive organ of the redistributionist state, opening like a poisoned flower to spread its heady pollen." - Rick
