I would not discount your opinion. I simply stated that I can't think of any socialist countries with strong economies. I also want to remind you what kinds of comments started this thread.

Well, I lived in socialism, and now in capitalism, and IMO - both suck great way on their ways. And yes, both sistems can have some good side, etc, blablah.
What "Manualbloc" politely said to you is that you can`t expect the public for your political statements, nor serious discussion here. This is "kinky" forum, and you can expect some little fun, "polemics" for the sake of it, and little "politicaly incorect" provocations.

P.S. If you are from USA, what kind of "Young Republican" is awake in 4:39:32?

I work the graveyard shift and have Fridays off. Pay off those student loans and generate some taxes for the welfare crack babies.

You are correct; there is a lot of criminal activity in SRO's and Sec. 8 public housing. But that has nothing to do with party affiliation. In the 70's the state boards of health saw their funding cut to the bone by Ahemm, not Dems. This resulted in the vast exodus of schizo-affectives onto the streets without any recourse to treatment. The rational; new drugs that could control the symptoms. However that requires monitoring which of course cost money.
Then there are people with addictions disorders that do respond to treatment providing it is available. The cost of not giving treatment is higher than the cost of providing it. The Rep's chose to build jails instead; because... drug enforcement is big business. Just follow the money.

Sorry but that's just not so. Recent history shows rehab centers were all the rage in the 80's, fully funded by Uncle Sam. Ronald Reagan was the president and Nancy did the "just say no" campaign. Drug rehab was practically put on the map during a Republican presidency. It was slashed to nothing during Clinton's term. I don't know if it was related or not, but I do know rehab funding was cut to the bone during Clinton's term.

Maybe I was, about 20+ years ago:-), now I just sitting at the PC.
Huh, the amp project... I know, part 3 - more power stage... cathode resistor + cap calculation, input cap, some wiring details, hum pot, etc. Then drivers, and power supply, then finalisation...
I still expecting the power transformer, and maybe I`ll buy input choke, too. For now, I use (buzzing:-)) 360-0-360V toroid, actually not too bad. And some new and salvaged chokes. Delivery time (4-6 weeks!) passed, and I`ll wait a few more weeks, then I`ll buy a "Lundahl" PT. At least, always on stock. And I`ll try to buy some new and interesting "Mundorf" TUBE-Caps.
But, to be honest, for now I`m doing nothing at all.

Yeah; we get older and the time speeds up and we slow down, it's a bitch; ain't it. Would be nice to have one day a month when you could be you but twenty yrs younger. I don't even care about the hangover.

Well; you'll have to break that news to my wife who runs one. I guess well just have to agree to disagree. The Legislature was a republican majority during Bill's term. They have the budgetary responsibility in the govt.
Let me ask a question of you. I believe you are a relatively young guy; is that correct?

Friend of mine has a private joke about himself, "well, I wish that I`m young, but with all wisdom I now have" - all laughed...
Youth? I don`t care - overrated as everything else...
