- "Oh, sorry Frank, I must have gotten Douglas and Boeing mixed up. I am not even certain if Boeing is in OR or WA but your screen name made me "assume" you're in Oregon, next door to Washington."
Boeing is in Seattle, Washington. During WWII my dad worked as a jig builder at Boeing, and my mom worked at the shipyards building merchant marine ships. I was just a little tyke at the time. Rain, rain ... and more rain.
- That was my point; most people who disparage socialism don't even know what it is.
Typical ... just assume that people don't understand the terms, because they just aren't as sophisticated and as well educated as you. What studies have you performed that allows for that assumption?
I would say that most people who espouse socialism, have no idea what they are talking about. Not your fault of course. I'd place that fault at the feet of our government (socialized) monopolized school systems.
Want to try an interesting little test? Ask any high school senior how many U.S. Senators there are. The vast majority haven't a clue. I've even asked degreed students that question and gotten a blank stare in return. Hey, we learned how government functions in the sixth grade.
Yep, they don't know how their government works, and as a result, they can't tell when their government is taking advantage of them. They do know, however, that the planet will self-destruct in twelve years, that Heather has two Mommies, and that taking from producer Peter, in order to give to collectivist Paul, is a moral endeavor.
