And what if he did, Doug? Are you suggesting that they threatened to drop him out without a parachute unless he voted "yes"? ;-)

Right on, Don. Spread the word! The only reason many Americans are scared of "socialism" is that they have not a clue what the word actually means, and not a clue that an enormous number of perfectly normal things they take for granted and depend upon every day of their lives ARE socialist institutions.

Also...they apparently don't have a clue that "socialism" does NOT mean making EVERYTHING in the whole society socialist!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always believed in both socialism AND capitalism, and I'm happy to live in a modern democratic society that intelligently combines both of them in many good ways.
