LOL. I have to give you an "A" for effort, Harry.

The US is far from being in the "dumper" and your claim is a bit
misleading. According to the UN Human Development Index (HDI), the US
hasn't led or come close to leading the list since at least 1980 but
it's ranking is still up there with little mathematical score difference
between it and the top of the list. It is interesting that the
countries that have led the list over the years tend to be more
socialistic in their government.

Nice try, though. :-)

What's even more interesting is that, you being the exception (I think),
most of the people here who depict socialism to be evil have absolutely
no idea what it really is. At least it's entertaining to witness the
ideas they pull outta their asses. :-)

Why don't you enlighten us as to why we should accept socialism as a way
of life?

If you can't explain why it is such a good thing then you are just being
argumentative.

I don't have to explain it. If a survey of human beings indicates that they
like their country, who the **** are we to criticize their economic system?
Having said that, I know why you do it: You lump all socialist countries
into one big category, so you think Finland equals the USSR. Do as you wish.
