On paper, communism looks pretty good. The problem is, that the dictatorship never dissolves, as the theory was explained back in history classes.

The real problem facing us right now is Religion. It is the absolute root of all evil! We have a bunch of Southern Hayseeds here in America trying to force feed us normal folks their twisted version of Biblical law. We have Pro-Lifers just going nuts, blowing up clinics(Eric Rudolph) and murdering innocent folks, all in the name of Religion. We have a bunch of awful Muslims doing the same in the name of Allah. If we could just stamp out religion for once and for all, we could probably have a much more peaceful world. I am all for folks expressing their beliefs, but at this point it has gone too far, and the extremists must be reeled in. This goes for the Religious Right, here in America, as well as Muslim terrorists in the Middle East. Get rid of religion, and the world would be a much better place.
I hate to sound extreme, but it has gone way too far, and is now impinging on my (and your) freedom of the pursuit of Happiness.

I couldn't agree more Chris........it's one of the reasons I left the Republican party. When I watch the Republican convention when GW was first nominated it made a sicking feel in my stomach. I felt as though we were returning to the Victorian age. The only way religion can go away is by a persons own free will which can only be accomplished by better understanding of science thru education.

On another note I just started reading Barack's book "The Audacity of Hope". Very interesting. I'm in the beginning pages, he's trying to explain where all these "hard-liners" on both sides have come from. You might want to pick up a copy for yourself.
