Progression of Regression

Premier Stalin was a gangster
  an armed robber who
'became' a Marxist
  'progressive'

Murdered 120 million
  of his fellow Soviets
Seems to me his 'career'
  was regressive

Hey, Stan! First of all, evolution is obviously neutral. Only politicians make it political. Far be it from me to do so. Insofar as Stalin is concerned, his was a natural progression from gangster to armed robber to 'revolutionary' to mass murderer. (Maybe I should say 'regression.'). 'Theory of Evolution' was just a catchy title, I thought... I like people to read what I write, and catch titles help attract readers... Upon reflection though, maybe I should change this one. THANKS for the heads-up on this one, my friend! Hope and Kindness, Gershon
