It has to do with the policies of the Montgomery County Government. I'll leave it to you to figure it out why. |

I haven't paid any serious attention to new haven since I left the home of my parents to go to college. In the last 30 years, I've been back there only a couple of times to catch up with old friends. The house my parents owned still looks good, as does the neighborhood. I know, because one of my buddies still lives in the immediate area, and I visit him from time to time. The commercial area in which our strip mall is located actually looks better over time, as do some of my old summertime "beach 'burb" haunts in milford and branford. I've never regretted closing down the family boat business after my father died. I was in montgomery county a few months ago, specifically rockville. I loved all the new shopping areas and restaurants, but the traffic congestion on rockville pike was heavier than I would tolerate if I lived in that area. |

She noted that it came quick and she had both removed over the summer so she had fake boobs, then she took off her hat and suggested we all shave our heads in solidarity;) I spoke with he later and told her, not unless you need it for a wig.

Cuba is the only truly communist country left as far as I can tell and that is an artificial circumstance brought on by our embargo. It is ironic that if we were not "fighting communism" in this hemisphere there wouldn't be any. Well, I guess we're all doomed to capitalism then. I don't think Vietnam ever really was communist. It was just supported by the Soviets and we were fighting anyone the Soviets supported. Once we got in there the war took on a life of it;s own ... much like Afghanistan. We just stayed because we didn't want to "Lose" ("peace with honor" and all that crap). As soon as we got out of there, they immediately started building a capitalist society. Cuba is trying to build a capitalist society as we speak. If we would let them, they would be competing with Florida for US tourist dollars in the morning. Then would Steve Wynn and Bill Marriott be far behind? We could trash that island in 10 years. VN is a communist country. No communist country (except perhaps North Korea) is a pure society. Castro merged his revolutionary organization with the communist party. Again, not a pure state. -- Nom=de=Plume |

The way I understand it there is a vibrant free market in Vietnam and if the government tried to stop that, they would have another revolution. Hopefully we wouldn't go to that one.

You certainly can't say Kim is taking care of the proletariat with the fruits of production. Cuba is really the only functioning communist country in the world VN was never really communist. They sided with the Red Chinese, because we would not support those who wanted their country back. Truman screwed up big time letting France back into their colonies after WW2. |

He made deals with the Chinese Nationalists (Chiang Kai Shek), and later with the French, to achieve Vietnamese autonomy. Both parties screwed him over, and the rest is history. You are right, we never should have backed French imperialism. |

We actually have posters here who are proud of their efforts to kill Vietnamese, as if we had some divine right to do so. What we should have done after WW II was help the Vietnamese throw off the yoke of French imperialism. |
