Powerfully penned Matthew:-) I agree with you about people in the soviet union had a tougher time - my late father was born in Lithuania and from what little he did say I know how appalling conditions were under the soviet regime.:-( hugs jan xx

ARe you saying you are against Obamacare and stuff? There is a real debate about health care. It's the crutch of everything, in my opinion. Too bad the conservatives can't even think up a good replacement for it. Yes, some really bad things happened to people years ago in the name of Socialism.
