For that transgression, I do most sincerely and humbly apologize.

My obviously hideously errant impression that you, somehow, thought that the main problem with socialism was that wise men hadn't yet found the right mixture, was based entirely upon my reading of what you said earlier:



I realize now, of course, that at no point did you suggest that people "who think", as opposed to unenlightened individuals quite unlike your own omniscient self, would "advocate a mixed system" with "the problem of course being finding the right mix that would work."

For some reason, no doubt due to my ignorance, I took your exact words to mean what they actually said, at no point allowing for the possibility that English might not be your first language.

I stand chastised before your obvious superior intellect, humbled as a result of your expert wielding of playground insults and recognize that I have met my superior.

Oh, just one question, should you deign to answer it with something more enlightening that smileys and evasions, which is obviously all that a mere plebeian such as myself deserve: How is that "trying to find the correct mixture for the Utopia of Next Tuesday" working out for you over there in the vibrant economy of Ireland? I haven't had an update in ages.

Do let me know when you hit that perfect "mix" so that we may copy it over here in the colonies.

Thank you ever so much.

can you define what it is that you mean by socialism? What forms of government spending are not socialism in your view? For example is government maintenance of public highways a form of socialism in your view? And if so, is it an acceptable form?
