The right - including supposedly intelligent people like Gingrich - throw the word around as though it were an epithet. It's not. It's an economic system which has merit. Actually, the US has long embraced certain aspects of socialism such as public funding for education and health care. Medicare is socialist as is Social Security. Right wingers, including Ronnie Reagan and Dubya would have destroyed both, but a majority of Americans said, "no."
I'm betting that you think socialism is political - most who listen to Faux Gnus as their only source of information do. Please make sure you now what words mean before you use them.
The Republican legislature lead by MHPC would turn the state into Arizona circa 1990 much to the distress of 21st century Mainers. On the east bank of the Kennebec there is a state owned very large vacant granite building already broken up into office size spaces.
Turn the old AMHI building into offices for legislators thereby filling a vacant piece of real estate and putting our representatives and senators close to the professional help they need when Lance brings them legislation like that Steve Mistler has written about.
The old AMHI building has the added benefit of a way to lock legislators IN lest they resist the help they need.
Lance and the guv can be sent on a one way trip to St. Helena where a 19th Century despot passed his final days.
How about ... people who make generalizations like that are most likely right wing nuts.
Or ... please make sure brain is in gear before putting fingers to the keyboard.
Of course, all teachers are commie pink libruls along with anyone who works in the lame stream media. They are trying to convert all our children to become gay mooslims and promote class warfare while taking food stamps and welfare checks. Did I leave any of Kuntz's buzzwords out?

If I knew what you were trying to say....
If I knew what you were saying, I might agree with you, but then, given your track record, we'd both be wrong.
The no pseudo-nyms policy
has worked very well in my opinion. Dissent with civility is the result.
There is a solution to 2 problems
