i think you have your facts wrong, he died at age 63 (in 1799...)
and people say the current crop of students isn't learning enough about american history...
I didn't say anything about forcing them not to be communist .. I was just lamenting their push in that direction. It's NOT a good life and
socialism has failed (and is failing) around the world.

no, communism is failing
socialism hasn't been implemented
socialism is purely a more state based economic system
socialism does not equal a form of government
merely a philosophy on economics
I can pity them their fate. And I foresee a major headache with Chavez in Venezuela for America. He's a whack on an ego trip and there is no one to

he doesn't have quite the amount of control that the american media would like you to believe, so don't pull the fixed elections card out
he has popular support
if they use a different economic system, so be it
