You know, it was a serious question, and forgive me if I misinterpreted this response, but as of late people have been very rude to me on this site, but your response comes across to me as some sort of sugar-coated rude belittling and slyly calling me naive for presumably being younger than you...even though any one of us could have chosen any age... How about answering the question and explaining why it's dumb and I'm wrong?
As soon as I posted that I thought you might see it as a dig. NOT so! Promise! You have no clue how happy I am that you and a very few others have had the guts to state your positions...
My comment was really a self-reflection, I apologize again. When I was younger I felt the same way you do today! It would be awesome if socialism and communism actually worked in the real world... I mean who doesn't want to help the little guy? The poor and defenseless?? After all, IMO, that's exactly how Jesus would want us to operate!! Working for the good of all in His name....!
But....
Throw
man into the mix, and it will NEVER, EVER, EVER happen! Greed of all sorts (for $$, for fame, for status, hoarding power) destroys it every time. Don't forget satan rules THIS world... and it's all too noticeable...
You tend to figure this out later in life when it slaps you in the face on a daily level....
Let me ask you this...
How would you reverse the all out corruption (both in gov and by the users) of the social programs we have today?
