Heh. Insightful and funny. Funny, since we don't have any real

socialists in the USA.  But as a non-American, perhaps you were not 

kidding about that?


The "social contract" is an interesting concept to invoke. Perhaps

some people are socialized to feel it is their civic and social duty 

to correct all instances of wrongful thinking and to keep correcting 

until a change to rightful thinking has been achieved.
