Yesterday evening I went on a shopping spree, which I don’t often do. I have been stressed out lately and I just wanted to go throw some money around! (Yes I know it’s not responsible, however it is quite fun!) I stormed into Wall Mart, with $300.00 burning a hole in my pocket and walked out of there $250 later with a brand new Sony Reader! The first thing I read on it was the essay ‘The Soul of Man under Socialism’ by Oscar Wilde. As I read it, I found myself completely enthralled with what Oscar was telling me! It challenged my ideas about socialism in America, and taught me that even though socialism may be a speedy fix to a number of of our problems, in the long run, it will have immense negative ramifications. Its clever words and poignant phrases held me captive until late into the night, and when I was done, I felt so much smarter! I now have an extremely authoritative stance on socialism, so strong in fact that if Barack Obama and I were engaged in a heated debate about socialism, (like that would happen) I am absolutely certain I would win! I robustly recommend you read this essay. It will plant ideas into your brain about socialism that you have by no means thought of before, and will rouse you to share your learning’s with others. If you have read this essay, or have ideas on socialism in America, comment to this post and share your thoughts! I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!!!

My comment, up for discussion...
Socialism is the inevitable result of any capitalist, democratic nation, given enough time and, most importantly, security... Human nature will creep in, inspite of the best intentions and checks and balances...
MM - I haven't (yet) read this essay, but you want you to know that I enjoy your vocabulary.
Socialism appears compassionate, caring, giving, and fair which is partly why it is so popular. But the effects of socialism are economically and governmentally crippling.
Do you like your sony reader? I've heard some people say they are way better than kindles, but I still sure like mine. Where else can you get the complete works of Jane Austen for less than $4?
Of course you would win that argument. The socialists CAN'T defend themselves against truth. This is why they are obsessed with shutting people up. It is sad to see that people are stupid enough to fall this garbage but encouraging to see the masses of people who are not.
The founding fathers were some of the most brilliant men in history and must have known these sorts of things would happen eventually. They gave us a system that should work to correct itself. But this is all contigent on the courts upholding the constitution and invoking the 10th amendment.
We need a man like Ron Paul in office to help fix this mess
