[Spridgets] Was: California Ammunition Restrictions NO Spridgetcontent

Communism?  Please, David.  The public health care plan being proposed 
doesn't even meet the classical definition of Socialism.  But Communism? 
Yer kidding, right?

I believe Jay was expressing his feelings about it.  The basis for his 
statement is his opinion -- just like the basis for the opinions of those 
who disagree is nothing more than their opinion.

Unless you are prepared to suggest that the rest of the industrialized world 
is "evil" like you stated because they don't mimic our failed system, I'd 
suggest not tossing terms like "communist" around.  Geesh!
