Russia and China gave up Marxism and are on the way to owning the globe

Nonsense! Russia and China are authoritarian states where the leaders have control over the freedoms of the individuals. Yes Bush and Cheney would have loved to taken away the rights of the individual - and indeed some will argue they tried - but we have a Constitution and Bill of Rights that prevent governments such as exist in Russia and China. You may want a world such as exist in Russia where it is who you know and what you are willing to pay in bribes that determine winners - not me. You may also want a world such as in China where the smog is so thick that the quality of life sucks - not me. I just want a world where the working man gets as good a shake as the gambler or speculator. But then you think that is Marxist? If you think Russia and China are so great - why not move there?
