Socialism - Schmosialism

700 Billion to Rescue/Bailout/Burp/Coddle/Babysit Wall Street. John McCain supported unrestrained capitalism before he was against it. And then he wants to add 300 Billion more in socialism to buy up failed mortgages at full value.

There's socialism and there's bad socialism. There's capitalism and there's capitalism gone bad. There's girls, and there's girls gone wild, but that's another subject.

I say cut the socialism crap. If you receive a social security check, you support socialism. If you are on Medicare you support socialism. If you've sent your children to public schools, then you have participated in socialism. If your kids have attended state colleges, received pell grants, subsidized lunches, subsidized loans, then you've participated in socialism.

Socialism isn't bad. Capitalism isn't bad.

Unrestrained, both can be very, very naughty. Every child needs limits.

Voter apathy is bad. Citizens NOT participating in the process and NOT being vocal is bad and unhealthy.

Everyone is subject to being corrupt. It's up to us to put the restraints in place so that corruption doesn't occur quite so frequently, and ferociously.

I accept that corruption will be a part of our society. I do not believe it can be eliminated, but it can be minimized, and it starts with bottom-up, because if the bottom isn't engaged, the top takes all.

Enough with the socialism crap.

Enough.

Vote.

Vote early, but NOT often.
