Joe,

Just to clarify, I have no beef with the military bands either. Of course they serve a purpose. However, if all they did was entertain, I would support them. I was just commenting on how socialist our military is (not a bad thing).

I think there is a continuum. On each end is totalitarianism (fascists on the right, communists on the left). The system we have is a mingling of the two. Capitalism came first because it is based on freedom, and socialism is based on control. Europe is more socialist than America, but they are still capitalist countries. We all want freedom. We also need control (more and more control in recent days if you ask me, down with the U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T. act!). No control and you get mob and drug dealer type business. All control and you get Stalin. We all want something in between.

Bill
