Well, the original conversation on Ray Comfort’s Blog spilled over to the Digg site for further thoughts. I posted this response to someone called “The Butter Stick.” Butterstick was asserting the alleged success of communes around the world, especially in Norway (which butterstick referred to as paradise). Here is my response to Butterstick that I…

The Day Socialism Comes to America
