Hello Malcolm, ACF will never understand, because he doesn't care to understand. He is of the tribe that says white is black, black is black, and grey is also black, always, without exception, and forever. Thankfully that sort of logic and train of thought can usually be shut down in a hurry with questions rather than answers ;0) Chugs, Jay

Malcolm: >>For your sake I hope you know more about economics than you do about history<< This comment shows very little of the wisdom that I would hope for from someone who has lived as long as you. It seems more typical of the kind of juvenile one-upmanship that you would expect from 45 year old whippersnappers like me. As to the rest of your post, I read it several times in an effort to understand your point. If you will excuse the liberty, I will paraphrase it as follows - "yes, the 20th Century is full of examples of mass murder committed in the name of Communism, but the people who did this were not necessarily Communists and they were sincere about what they were doing." Is that about right? So how exactly does this supposed sincerity of the participants affect my observation that, in the name of Communism, the 20th Century witnessed numerous extraordinary and barbaric instances of mass murder instituted against the citizens of those Communist regimes.
