re once tapped your code is no good any more in article apr leland stanford edu arc leland stanford edu andrew richard conway writes i must protest your in a communist country how do you know there haven t been any and are unlikely to ever be any in some socialist dictatorships you can t whilst in some socialist democracies such as france or australia you can of course some people may disagree about france australia being socialist it or rather you re complaining about it and nobody is shooting at us yet guess what people you live in one of the few countries in the world where a person can complain without getting shot at in some circumstances i was at a public meeting last night in the usa where a protester who was very nice and calm and just said before the speaker started to beware of his opinions was forced out of the meeting by two armed policemen there are a lot of things that one cannot do in the usa you may not notice them but as an australian visitor i notice them of course don t over react but don t under react thank you andrew not only for the firm rebuttal but for understanding the difference between communism and socialism even though this is off topic why do people just not understand that just because all those pretty songs about the land of the free and so on sound nice that they may not be true take off those rose colored glasses and get a clue to use two of the better cliches around thanks you again jamie
