And don't get me started on public education here in the States: I cringe when I see the homework that my kids bring home, supposedly to educate them.

I agree with you that the public school system can tend towards shoddiness. Me and the lady are leaning towards home-schooling. I just don't think you can blame socialism. First of all, there are plenty of public schools that do a fine job of educating their students; in minnesota they generally coincide geographically with high property taxes(that's where their funding comes from).

I maintain that fascism/socialism/communism society is closer to the realization of a nightmare than a dream. Yes, people have their distractions such as stamp collecting or whatnot, but I believe the strongest psychological forces that drive people to action are those 3.

I think that the most ideal society is a measured combination of ideas that work towards the betterment of everyone in the society. To me it doesn't matter the ideological framework from which the ideas sprout. There are certain elements of capitalism that function well and do what they are supposed to and there are certain elements of socialism that function well and do what they are supposed to.
