>>We are encroaching on "to each according to his needs, from each according to his means." I find it the most worrisome trend of my lifetime.<< Karen - I would find that worrisome, too, though I don't really see it happening to any fearful degree. Yes, I know there are those who go around saying things like "housing is a right." I don't know where they get that idea. It's only one step away from "the world owes me a living." I believe the people who think like that are well to the left of me, and don't represent a large enough constituency among the electorate to get their way. FYI, I heard some author on the radio yesterday, saying that Communism was just to high an ideal for humans to reach. I disagree completely. Communism is a terrible idea. Even if we could implement it perfectly, I believe we would find our lives dismal and small. - Allen
