Lex as far as Communism goes, is out of his damn mind. Delusional. <br>He stated that, " We saw Communism.....at least how it was done in some places, didn't work out to well.". WHAT?  How it was done in some places???  It has NEVER been done successfully in any place ANYWHERE and never will or could be because, hey Lex, it is a BAD philosophy. Period. Lex, you need to get a clue son. Wow.,(reply>), I would assume he is saying this because of the soviets contributions to space. If you think about it, the cold war and the communists money poured into their space programs may have sped up the speed of scientific innovation. This may not have happened if the soviets were capitalist because there would not have been a cold war. Still agree with you that the discoveries happened in spite of communism.
